Which outcome occurs when backflow through the diffuser in a multistage axial compressor disrupts boundary layer control within the compressor cycle?

💡 Explanation

Surge induces flow reversal because the increased pressure stalls the later stages of the compressor; therefore, mass flow rate dramatically decreases, or a reverse flow occurs, rather than vibration or flutter which are related to different imbalance modes.
