Which consequence results when friction losses increase within a turbofan engine?

A)Decreased propulsive efficiency
B)Increased compressor stall margin
C)Elevated turbine inlet temperature
D)Reduced fuel consumption rate

💡 Explanation

Increased friction generates more heat, undergoing entropy increases. This increases drag. Therefore, propulsive efficiency is reduced, because more of the engine's useful energy is wasted as heat, rather than increased thrust.
