← TechnologyWhich aerodynamic effect limits maximum core turbine speed?
A)Transonic compressor blade stall✓
B)Hypersonic blade shock detachment
C)Supersonic rotor disc cryofracture
D)Subsonic exhaust nozzle choking
💡 Explanation
Transonic speeds lead to shock-induced separation and eventual compressor stall disrupting airflow because the *shock stall mechanism* abruptly raises pressure, therefore, reducing efficiency rather than causing structural failure and exceeding design limits.
