Which limitation arises when a cryogenic fluid undergoes phase transition?

A)Significant pressure drop increases

B)Heat transfer coefficient reduces✓

C)Viscosity increases exponentially

D)Density remains effectively constant

💡 Explanation

Boiling leads to vapor formation, causing film boiling resistance; this heat flux reduction occurs because of a decrease in active nucleate sites, therefore limiting heat extraction, rather than other flow-related properties being severely impacted.
