← TechnologyWhich risk escalates under icing conditions during aerial turbine engine operation?
A)Compressor stall inducing engine surge✓
B)Turbine blade creep from overheating
C)Fuel nozzle clogging from wax
D)Increased jet fuel thermal efficiency
💡 Explanation
Compressor stall risk increases because ice accretion disrupts airflow over the compressor blades thus leading to flow separation and pressure fluctuations, initiating compressor stall rather than sustained combustion, and if uncorrected leads to complete engine surge.
