← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when compressor blades experience cavitation?
A)Efficiency decreases due to energy losses✓
B)Increased mass flow rate observed momentarily
C)Delayed combustion initiation achieved slowly
D)Thermal expansion shifts resonance frequently
💡 Explanation
When vapor bubbles produced by cavitation collapse, the local surface materials erode and the aerodynamic profile of blades degrade. This causes a reduction in compressor pressure ratios because energy dissipation increases rather than increasing flow efficiencies.
