Which outcome occurs when a turbine engine's compressor stalls?

A)Surge and flow instability occur
B)Increased thrust and fuel efficiency
C)Stable compression and smooth airflow
D)Decreased turbine inlet temperature

💡 Explanation

Compressor stall disrupts airflow, because aerodynamic forces induce flow separation. This surge and instability result, therefore disrupting engine performance rather than improving thrust or stability, because the choked flow can no longer maintain the pressure ratio.
