Which outcome occurs when rapid heating in a closed boiler beyond design limits causes the water's phase transition to steam?

💡 Explanation

A catastrophic rupture occurs because rapid steam formation dramatically increases the internal pressure, exceeding the boiler’s yield strength; this triggers instantaneous expansion– explosive boiling– rather than controlled steam generation, therefore structural failure rather than pressure relief valve actions.
