← TechnologyWhich issue develops when turbocharger shaft speeds surpass material yield strength during operation?
A)Compressor surge from choked airflow
B)Rotor burst due to centrifugal stress✓
C)Bearing failure from oil starvation
D)Wastegate sticking from thermal expansion
💡 Explanation
When turbocharger shaft speeds exceed design limits, centrifugal stresses increase beyond material yield strength so plastic deformation quickly leads to rotor burst because the centripetal force exceeds the component's tensile strength. Therefore, rotor burst prevails, rather than compressor surge, bearing failure, or wastegate issues, each necessitating different mechanical problems.
