Which feedback effect results when closing turbine bleed valves abruptly during aircraft descent?

💡 Explanation

Compressor surge can occur because closing the bleed valves increases the downstream pressure rapidly, exceeding surge margin. This causes boundary layer flow reversal on compressor blades, leading to stall; therefore surge, because this stalls compression rather than reduces fuel use.
