Which consequence results when rapid thermal cycling induces cracks in solid oxide fuel cell ceramic?

💡 Explanation

Fuel-air mixing results from sealing failure as cracks propagate, because differential thermal expansion causes stress. This cracking undergoes **mechanical fatigue**, therefore fuel leaks rather than increased ion transport and concentration losses, stemming from different mechanical failures.
