← ScienceWhich consequence results when an automotive engine's cooling system fails?
A)Thermal runaway of engine parts✓
B)Increased efficiency of catalytic converter
C)Enhanced fuel injection homogeneity
D)Decreased engine emission of NOx
💡 Explanation
Thermal runaway occurs because a failed cooling system shuts down convection, leading to a temperature increase accelerating reaction rates; this positive feedback quickly damages engine parts. Therefore, thermal runaway occurs, rather than those benefiting emissions control, because these depend on regulated temperatures.
