← ScienceWhich consequence results when ice slurry freezes adhering to a heat exchanger?
A)Reduced heat transfer efficiency✓
B)Increased fluid pump pressure
C)Vapor-lock within internal tubing
D)Cavitation of the pump impeller
💡 Explanation
The overall thermal resistance increases because the ice forming introduces additional layers with significantly impedes **thermal conduction**, therefore inhibiting optimal heat exchange, rather than increasing fluid pressure or inducing cavitation, outcomes associated with other fluid related parameters.
