Technology

After flight, which outcome occurs when improper aircraft fueling permits water contamination in a turbine engine's fuel?

A)Compressor blade icing risk increases
B)Bearing lubrication dramatically improves
C)Combustion chamber thermal efficiency peaks
D)Turbine disk creep fatigue reduces

💡 Explanation

Compressor blade icing risk increases because injected water precipitates solid ice crystals via the rapid evaporative cooling thermodynamic cycle through the engine, where the mechanism is phase transition rather than improved adiabatic compression; therefore icing is probable, rather than improved engine peformance.
