← ScienceWhich consequence results when an adiabatic compressor's intake guide-vanes fail?
A)Surge risk increases significantly in compressor✓
B)Thermal efficiency exceeds Carnot limit
C)Compressor power consumption linearly decreases
D)Isentropic efficiency of turbine substantially rises
💡 Explanation
Compressor surge occurs when flow reverses because the pressure exceeds designed limits; inlet guide vanes ensure necessary swirl therefore, surge risk elevates rather than changing predicted efficiency or power usage.
