← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when humidity abruptly increases inside jet engines?
A)Compressor stall from boundary layer separation✓
B)Increased turbine blade creep deformation
C)Fuel injection system freezes over
D)Combustion efficiency rises instantaneously
💡 Explanation
When humidity increases in jet engines, water condenses; therefore the boundary layer thickens causing flow separation, an instance of compressor stall, because viscosity lowers aerodynamic efficiency which chokes the engine rather than improved combustion.
