← ScienceWhich consequence results when differential expansion stresses exceed material strength in a bimetallic strip within a combustion engine's preheating system?
A)Premature sensor fatigue failure✓
B)Enhanced catalytic converter efficiency
C)Optimized fuel-air mixture formation
D)Increased thermal engine efficiency
💡 Explanation
Sensor fatigue occurs because differential thermal expansion imposes cyclic stress, weakening metal via fatigue. Therefore sensor failure occurs, rather than engine optimization, or catalysis, because fatigue is a material property leading to cracking under cyclic stress.
