← ScienceWhich consequence results when a gas turbine blade cracks during operation?
A)Decreased turbine efficiency and speed✓
B)Flameout due to altered fuel/air
C)Higher stall margin due turbine changes
D)Increased rate in NOx gas emissions
💡 Explanation
Turbine blade failure reduces efficiency because kinetic energy is lost in chaotic flow rather than directed through further stages; this is due to the principle of aerodynamic work. Therefore A is correct, rather than flameout or reduced stall, because gas flow is degraded, not entirely interrupted.
