Which effect is curtailed if airflow maintains laminar behavior by restricting Reynolds number in turbine blades?

A)Increase in power loss
B)Onset of stall conditions postponed
C)Temperature related creep minimized
D)Amplified blade material corrosion

💡 Explanation

Maintaining a lower Reynolds number mitigates turbulence, delaying stall via boundary layer attachment. This occurs because the reduced kinetic energy inhibits the **momentum diffusion** required for a separation. Therefore, stall is postponed, rather than creep which concerns material temperature.
