Which consequence arises when exceeding the ideal regenerative heat engine's pressure limits?

A)Increased thermal radiation losses
B)Component yielding via creep rupture
C)Decreased compressor surge margin
D)Reduced regenerator matrix surface area

💡 Explanation

The pressure increase causes increased mechanical stress and therefore increased probability of creep rupture. Creep rupture is a stress-related failure mechanism resulting in component yielding, because exceeding operational pressure parameters rather than radiation, surge, or fouling is the direct failure cause.
