← ScienceWhich consequence results when metal halide salt contaminates jet fuel?
A)Fuel pump filter membrane degradation
B)Elevated compressor blade fatigue failure
C)Increased injector nozzle carbon fouling✓
D)Reduced turbine blade creep resistance
💡 Explanation
Fuel contamination leads to incomplete combustion because ionic metal halides catalyze polymerization, causing carbon fouling, rather than a homogeneous burn. Therefore, fuel injectors increasingly clog, rather than degrading fuel lines or blades due to the low concentration of hallide salts.
