Which risk significantly increases when water-cooling systems experience sustained boiling?

A)Localized hot spots and component failure
B)Uniform temperature equilibrium establishment failure
C)Increased coolant viscosity and hindered flow
D)Reduced convective heat transfer coefficients, overall

💡 Explanation

A vapor layer's poor thermal conductivity causes hot spots, because film boiling prevents efficient heat removal via increased Thermal Resistance; this insulates the surface and leads to overheating and component failure, rather than even cooling or increased viscosity in the system.
