← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when turbocharger shaft speed exceeds design limits in an engine?
A)Compressor surge from blade stall✓
B)Increased cylinder knocking from intake charge
C)Reduced exhaust backpressure at turbine
D)Elevated boost pressure across intercooler
💡 Explanation
When the turbocharger shaft speed exceeds design limits, compressor surge occurs because the angle of attack on the compressor blades becomes too steep, causing airflow separation. Therefore, compressor surge results rather than, pre-ignition, reduced backpressure or elevated boost each requiring distinct conditions.
