← ScienceWhich consequence results when exceeding temperature limits within supercritical CO₂ Brayton cycle?
A)Compressor stall and flow reversal
B)Turbine blade creep and rupture✓
C)Heat exchanger fouling and corrosion
D)Regenerator thermal stress fracturing
💡 Explanation
Turbine blade creep and rupture occurs because exceeding temperature limits in the energy-generating turbine causes **thermal creep**, weakening the metal. Therefore, structural integrity fails rather than issues like compressor stall, which happens due to aerodynamic instability.
