← ScienceWhat outcome occurs when airflow approaches a turbine blade's stagnation point?
A)Static pressure increases; velocity decreases✓
B)Turbulence intensity exponentially increases downstream
C)Density becomes fully incompressible quickly
D)Dynamic viscosity decreases; momentum increases
💡 Explanation
The Bernoulli Equation dictates that the kinetic energy converts to pressure; therefore, at the stagnation point, velocity decreases, and because total energy along a streamline must remain constant, rather than experiencing turbulence, the static pressure correspondingly increases.
