Which risk increases when a jet engine utilizes water injection?

A)Compressor blade stress corrosion cracking
B)Increased incomplete combustion products
C)Turbine blade creep deformation rate
D)Augmented nozzle throat area erosion

💡 Explanation

Water injection increases mass flow and heat rates through the turbine. This accelerates turbine blade creep by power-law temperature dependence because creep rate is exponentially sensitive to temperature; therefore blade deformation increases, rather than corrosion or combustion which would need different chemical conditions.
