← ScienceWhich consequence results when fluid inside a heat pipe undergoes accelerated evaporation?
A)Vapor lock stops heat transfer✓
B)Capillary action ensures even flow
C)Maximum efficiency becomes heat limited
D)Surface tension reduces its rate
💡 Explanation
Vapor lock arises because faster evaporation creates expanding vapor bubbles; therefore, it disrupts liquid return via capillary action, rather than maintaining its cooling. This is because expanding bubbles block liquid flow, halting the process.
