Which operational limit directly threatens a turbofan engine's compressor stall?

A)Exceeding critical angle of attack
B)Insufficient bleed air extraction
C)Reaching turbine inlet temperature limits
D)Compromised fuel nozzle homogeneity

💡 Explanation

Compressor stall risk increases with a high angle of attack because airflow distortion exceeds the blades' stall margin, disturbing the pressure equilibrium. Angle of attack influences pressure gradients which overwhelms the compressor's functionality therefore increases stall and surge, rather than causing direct changes to turbine inlet temperature.
