Which 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.
