← ScienceWhich outcome occurs in a jet engine when exceeding maximum thrust?
A)Compressor stall greatly reduces thrust✓
B)Turbine blade material creep increases
C)Combustion flame propagation stabilizes
D)Nozzle efficiency marginally improves flow
💡 Explanation
Compressor stall happens when airflow separates from compressor blades because the angle of attack is too high. This significantly reduces airflow through the engine and therefore thrust, rather than maintaining proper combustion; all because turbulent kinetic energy overcomes favorable pressure gradients.
