Which outcome results when airflow exhibits a Reynolds number exceeding a compressor blade's design limit?

A)Increased boundary layer separation
B)Exceeding maximum adiabatic efficiency
C)Lowering turbine firing temperatures
D)Producing smoother laminar airflow

💡 Explanation

Increased boundary layer separation results due to exceeding the Reynolds number design limit; therefore, turbulence onset dominates near the blade surface, rather than lower parasitic losses because the viscous forces become insignificant.
