Technology

Which outcome increases thermal stress in jet turbine blades because of rapid acceleration?

A)Tip clearance rub increases wear
B)Rotor imbalance causes vibrations
C)Compressor stall reduces airflow
D)Reduced fuel efficiency occurs sooner

💡 Explanation

Tip clearance rub greatly increases thermal stress. because unequal expansion causes contact; the ablation increases operational temperature, therefore decreasing component service life, rather than vibration which would generally occur over longer time scales.
