← TechnologyWhich material risk sharply increases when turbine exhaust temperatures exceed design limits in jet propulsion?
A)Oxidation rate of turbine blades✓
B)Compressor stall due to backpressure
C)Erosion of nozzle guide vanes
D)Thermal creep in the compressor disk
💡 Explanation
Increased exhaust temperature accelerates oxidation because the elevated thermal energy increases oxidation kinetics, leading to rapid loss of protective coating on the blades. Therefore, oxidation dominates, rather than compressor stall which is caused by aerodynamic issues.
