← ScienceWhich limit dictates compressor stall in turbine engines?
A)Adverse pressure gradient formation✓
B)Excessive fuel-air equivalence ratio
C)Turbine entry temperature threshold
D)Compressor leading edge erosion
💡 Explanation
Compressor stall occurs because exceeding a critical Adverse Pressure Gradient allows reversed flow to detach the boundary layer airflow from the compressor blades, therefore stalling the compressor, rather than fuel mixture or temperature issues under normal conditions.
