Question 3275 Deck General

The correct answer is A) it will increase. When you close off one tank in the line of tanks being filled, the total volume of the open tanks decreases, which causes the rate of flow to the remaining open tanks to increase. This is because the same amount of fuel is being pumped, but it is now distributed across a smaller volume of open tanks, resulting in a higher flow rate to those tanks. The other options are incorrect because: B) decreasing the volume of open tanks would increase the flow rate, not decrease it; C) the flow rate would not stabilize, as it would increase; and D) the flow would not stop, as the system is still actively pumping fuel.
