← ScienceWhich risk increases when a turbine engine operates beyond isothermal limits?
A)Creep rate accelerates significantly✓
B)Thermal efficiency reaches peak
C)Compressor surge is suppressed
D)Combustion instability spontaneously resolves
💡 Explanation
Operation beyond isothermal limits raises the turbine blade temperature, therefore accelerating creep because of increased vacancy diffusion rates rather than achieving higher efficiency. Compessor stall and combustion instabilities aren't directly linked.
