Which outcome occurs when anti-stall control valve in turbofan engine fails closed during takeoff?

A)Compressor surge due turbulent airflow
B)Increased fuel efficiency from greater thrust
C)Lower exhaust gas temperatures saving turbine
D)Reduced engine noise benefiting passengers

💡 Explanation

When the anti-stall valve fails closed, compressor stall surge occurs because boundary layer separation happens since airflow through the compressor reduces causing violent bursts and flow reversals. Therefore, a compressor surge occurs, rather than efficiency increase, lower temperature, or less noise, which require different conditions.
