Technology

Which potential outcome increases dramatically when thermal runaway weakens turbine disk integrity in a high-bypass turbofan engine?

A)Uncontained engine failure risk
B)Stator blade resonance frequency drop
C)Compressor stall margin reduction
D)EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) increase

💡 Explanation

Uncontained engine failure risk increases because reduced material yield promotes disk burst due to centrifugal forces overpowering remaining tensile strength following "thermal runaway" degradation (creep fracture), therefore catastrophic debris expulsion is favoured rather than contained failure within designed shroud limits.
