← ScienceWhich outcome limits sustained combustion rate in a gas turbine?
A)Flame quenching thermal conduction dominates✓
B)Equilibrium shifts favor CO formation
C)Available fuel injection pressure drops
D)Catalytic converter temperature rate decreases
💡 Explanation
Flame quenching occurs because chain branching radical production becomes slower than radical removal via thermal conduction to the turbine walls. Therefore, the combustion rate falls, rather than increasing from equilibrium, which is influenced instead by thermodynamics.
