← TechnologyWhich outcome arises when a jet engine's turbine blades experience excessive thermal stress during rapid throttle adjustments?
A)Compressor stall and surge✓
B)Increased combustion efficiency
C)Improved fuel economy metrics
D)Enhanced thrust-to-weight ratio
💡 Explanation
Compressor stall occurs when the **boundary layer separation** on the turbine blades grows rapidly, because this reduces airflow pressure and reverses flow into the compressor stage. Therefore, the engine surges, rather than maintaining stable thrust, under load.
