Which feedback effect results when closing turbine bleed valves abruptly during aircraft descent?

A)Compressor surge due to increased pressure
B)Turbine overspeed exceeding rpm limits
C)EGT decrease to sub-idle temperatures
D)Fuel consumption reduction is linear

💡 Explanation

Compressor surge can occur because closing the bleed valves increases the downstream pressure rapidly, exceeding surge margin. This causes boundary layer flow reversal on compressor blades, leading to stall; therefore surge, because this stalls compression rather than reduces fuel use.
