← TechnologyWhich 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.
