← TechnologyWhich adverse effect worsens when turbine blade tolerances degrade?
A)Cavitation efficiency plummets acutely
B)Resonance frequency range widens
C)Bearing thermal runaway probability spikes
D)Compressor stage stall margin shrinks✓
💡 Explanation
Reduced turbine blade tolerances elevate aerodynamic imbalances, inducing uneven pressure distribution. This narrows the compressor's stall margin because the surge risk is heightened, therefore efficiency drops rather than thermal issues, which would require bearing contamination or lubrication failure.
