Which outcome will occur when a closed-cycle gas turbine runs above its compressor surge limit?

💡 Explanation

Blade stall and flow reversal results because the angle of attack exceeds the critical value, initializing boundary layer separation: a mechanism of aerodynamic stall. The gas is not completely compressed, back flowing rather than proceeding forward; therefore, surge causes instability rather than improved performance.
