Which consequence results when the Brayton cycle's compressor stalls?

A)Turbine blade fatigue increases rapidly
B)Fuel consumption reaches maximum efficiency
C)Exhaust temperature remains nearly constant
D)Pressure drop through turbine decreases

💡 Explanation

Compressor stall induces a turbulent region, which causes surging as reverse exhaust flow disrupts flow that leads to increased turbine blade fatigue because flow reversal creates additional dynamic stresses; therefore, blade lifespan is reduced, rather than exhaust remaining stable.
