← ScienceIn a jet engine, which consequence results when boundary layer separation induces turbulence?
A)Increased compressor stall likelihood occurs✓
B)Fuel consumption is drastically reduced
C)Exhaust nozzle efficiency is heightened
D)Turbine blade lifespan inevitably extends
💡 Explanation
Boundary layer separation induces turbulence near compressor blades and causes airflow disruption that triggers compressor stall because the pressure increases become unstable. Therefore, stall likelihood increases, rather than improving engine efficiency or extending component lifespan under smooth flow.
