← ScienceWhich limitation arises on a multi-stage turbojet when the compressor reaches its choke point?
A)Reduced mass flow through stalls✓
B)Increased turbine inlet temperature
C)Higher engine component vibrations
D)Combustion flameout and engine failure
💡 Explanation
Compressor stall occurs because reaching choke point increases pressure, therefore airflow reduces at this threshold, leading to stalls which reduces overall mass flow rather than alternatives; different compressor designs alleviate surge conditions.
