← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a cryogenic fuel tank in a rocket experiences ullage?
A)Propellant phase stratification accelerates boil-off✓
B)Oxidizer flow rate increases unexpectedly
C)Tank pressure remains unexpectedly stable
D)Combustion efficiency shows significant improvement
💡 Explanation
Propellant stratification dramatically increases boil-off because poor mixing and heat leaks encourage phase separation generating vapor regions; therefore, significant vapor venting results, rather than pressure equalization or efficiency gains in the engine.
