Which outcome occurs when exceeding design RPM in turbines?

A)Blade resonance causes catastrophic mechanical failure
B)Increased efficiency improves power output
C)Bearing lubrication enhances cooling effect
D)Fuel consumption reaches minimum stable level

💡 Explanation

Blade resonance begins upon reaching critical frequency, because a positive feedback loop amplifies vibration via mechanical resonance. This induces fatigue cracking if sustained; therefore, blade failure is likely rather than increased performance, as bearing lubrication is unrelated.
