← TechnologyWhich risk increases when fuel atomization fails in a turbine?
A)Engine overheating noticeably increases rapidly
B)Uncontrolled surge compressor is initiated
C)Flame instability causing lean blowout✓
D)Increased volumetric charging spontaneously appears
💡 Explanation
Poor fuel atomization leads to large droplets causing incomplete combustion. This causes the **flame quenching** mechanism, leading to flame instability because unburned fuel cools the flame below its ignition temperature; therefore, lean blowout results, rather than controlled burning or overheating.
