← TechnologyWhich risk increases when liquid rocket engines experience fuel sloshing?
A)Mixture ratio oscillations occur✓
B)Ablative cooling barrier stabilizes
C)Chamber pressure rise lessens
D)Nozzle throat erosion diminishes
💡 Explanation
Fuel sloshing induces mixture ratio oscillations because *dynamic instability* alters the consistent fuel delivery to the combustor. Therefore, unbalanced combustion results, rather than steady-state burning or stabilization.
