Which risk increases when interstage turbine blade rubbing occurs in a gas turbine engine?

A)Reduced compressor stall margin
B)Increased turbine blade creep
C)Augmented bypass airflow rates
D)Decreased combustor flame stability

💡 Explanation

Increased turbine blade creep occurs because heat from frictional rubbing locally elevates blade temperature, triggering thermal creep. This plastic deformation accumulates faster than stress-induced creep, therefore promoting material degradation; rather than airflow or combustion instability.
