← ScienceWhich 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.
