Which consequence results when an accumulator experiences thermal runaway?

💡 Explanation

A runaway reaction increases temperature and over-pressurizes the accumulator. Thermal expansion leads to explosive vessel failure via increased stress beyond its mechanical limits, because of exceeding its design parameters; therefore, catastrophic rupture, rather than subtle pressure changes occurs.
