← ScienceWhich effect occurs when exceeding the design-limit temperature of a gas turbine?
A)Decreased turbine blade creep resistance✓
B)Increased compressor efficiency
C)Enhanced fuel nozzle atomization
D)Reduced turbine disc thermal stress
💡 Explanation
Exceeding the turbine's design temperature accelerates creep, which increases plastic deformation, because the increased thermal energy reduces the energy required for dislocations to move; therefore, creep resistance decreases rather than improves, because this surpasses operating range.
