Technology

Which outcome occurs when sensor drift biases a closed-loop PID controller maintaining jet engine turbine inlet temperature (TIT)?

A)Increased combustion instability and surging
B)Fuel efficiency improvements via leaning
C)Stable operation approaching desired TIT
D)Faster response to throttle changes

💡 Explanation

Combustion instability increases because integral windup drives the actuator to compensate for the sensor error due to the drifting measured TIT signal, which causes over-fueling therefore leading turbulence. Rather than fuel savings or tighter temperature control, surging is triggered.
