← ScienceWhich phenomenon limits jet engine efficiency at higher compression ratios?
A)Increased fuel burn rates faster
B)Accelerated compressor blade stall speed
C)Exceeding the compressor surge line✓
D)Decreased turbine blade temperature limits
💡 Explanation
Exceeding the compressor surge line occurs because of increased pressure differentials destabilizing airflow in the compressor during the Brayton cycle; therefore airflow reverses creating surge, rather than efficient compression because pressure rises past stability threshold.
