← TechnologyIn turbofan engines, which consequence results when extreme icing obstructs airflow entering the intake?
A)Compressor stall occurs rapidly✓
B)Increased turbine blade efficiency
C)Reduced fuel consumption results
D)Higher exhaust gas temperatures appear
💡 Explanation
Compressor stall results from ice blocking airflow. This disrupts the pressure equilibrium within the compressor blades through flow distortion, triggering aerodynamic stall. Therefore stall occurs, rather than continued stable air compression, because pressure ratios drastically change due to the ice obstruction.
