Which outcome occurs when thermal expansion of a bimetallic strip regulates fuel gas flow in a domestic storage water heater?

💡 Explanation

The bimetallic strip expands unequally upon heating controlling a mechanical linkage via thermal actuation because the difference in expansion coefficients cause it to bend therefore modulating the gas valve opening rather than directly influencing tank material or causing flue condensation.
