← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a turbine's inlet temperature nears the metal's melting point?
A)Increased thermal efficiency of the cycle
B)Creep deformation drastically reduces lifespan✓
C)The blade's yield strength proportionally increases
D)Improved resistance to fatigue crack propagation
💡 Explanation
Creep deformation increases because the increased thermal energy causes atomic dislocations through Vacancy diffusion. Therefore the component's life decreases significantly rather than maintaining structural integrity under increased loading conditions.
