← ScienceWhich outcome limits high-bypass turbofan engine efficiency at high altitude?
A)Decreased exhaust thermal energy
B)Increased laminar boundary layer
C)Reduced atmospheric air density✓
D)Augmented core compressor pressure
💡 Explanation
Reduced density causes decreased mass flow through the fan, reducing thrust because the momentum change is proportional to density and velocity squared. Therefore, core power increases disproportionately, rather than improving engine efficiency if density were higher.
