Which outcome results when rapid vaporization occurs inside pipelines?

A)Liquid hammer induces pipe fracture
B)Reynolds number nears Stokes regime
C)Fluid compressibility becomes negligible
D)Increased viscous damping reduces vibrations

💡 Explanation

Liquid hammer induces pipe fracture because cavitation bubbles collapse, generating high-pressure microjets during the phase change; therefore, pipe damage results rather than predictable fluid behavior under single-phase flow conditions.
