Which limit results when a gas turbine experiences flameout?

A)Erosion of turbine blade surfaces
B)Uncontrolled acceleration to overspeed
C)Combustion chamber pressure oscillations
D)Mechanical fatigue from thermal cycling

💡 Explanation

Thermal cycling increases when flameout occurs because sudden cooling stresses the metal; the quenching hardens, increasing mechanical fatigue rather than erosion. Subsequently, compressive and expansive cycles weaken the structure; therefore, fatigue-induced cracking occurs, rather than overspeeding from uncontrolled ignition.
