← TechnologyWhich 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.
