Which effect results when the isentropic efficiency threshold for a gas turbine compressor drops sharply?

💡 Explanation

Increased specific fuel consumption occurs because, with lower isentropic efficiency, the energy input needed for compression increases via viscous heating, adding more irreversibility. Therefore, overall turbine efficiency decreases, rather than any changes in blade stress or emissions under fixed conditions.
