← ScienceWhich risk increases during rapid fuel transfer into aircraft fuel tanks?
A)Electrostatic discharge ignition events✓
B)Fuel pump cavitation inefficiency spikes
C)Reverse osmosis degradation acceleration
D)Extreme nozzle back-pressure amplification
💡 Explanation
Electrostatic discharge ignition hazard increases because charge separation occurs during turbulent flow through piping, caused by triboelectric charging; therefore, ignition is more likely, rather than cavitation or pressure issues which are functions of geometry and fluid properties.
