Science

Which consequence results when a turbine's supersonic flow cycle causes shock-induced boundary layer separation?

A)Decreased thermal efficiency results
B)Increased power density arises
C)Enhanced rotor blade cooling
D)Improved fuel combustion occurs

💡 Explanation

Efficiency declines because shock-induced boundary layer separation causes significant aerodynamic losses, therefore decreasing thermal efficiency rather than increased performance, because the flow distortion inhibits turbine effectiveness.
