← ScienceWhich outcome reduces jet engine efficiency when above critical Mach number?
A)Increased overall mass flow rate
B)Formation of shock-induced separation✓
C)Improved fuel-air mixing uniformity
D)Elevated compressor stall margin
💡 Explanation
Shock waves lead to adverse pressure gradients inducing boundary layer separation via Adverse Pressure Gradient because momentum decreases near the surface. Therefore separation decreases efficiency, rather than smooth flow or better combustion resulting from attached uniform boundary.
