Which outcome results when thermal load causes uncontrolled vaporization inside a closed cryogenic pump?

💡 Explanation

Pump cavitation and flow disruption occurs because the phase transition from liquid to gas introduces vapor bubbles; this disrupts liquid flow via volumetric blockage, termed cavitation, therefore reducing pumping performance and increasing vibration rather than providing subcooling.
