Practice question
Why is transporting partially filled liquid cargo in a road tanker (cisterna) with baffles (pregrade) particularly hazardous during braking and cornering?
- Liquid surge and sloshing (bućkanje tečnosti) creates massive dynamic momentum waves that slam forward during braking and shift laterally in turns, destabilizing the vehicle
- The liquid dissolves the metal tanker shell
- The liquid boils into steam at room temperature
- The tanker wheels lose electrical grounding
Answer: A — Liquid surge and sloshing (bućkanje tečnosti) creates massive dynamic momentum waves that slam forward during braking and shift laterally in turns, destabilizing the vehicle
