Which outcome commonly occurs during an adiabatic compressor stall?

💡 Explanation

Compressor stall induces pressure wave surges, meaning the working fluid rapidly compresses and expands. The **adiabatic process** causes rapid, localized heating during compression, because any heat generated cannot be dissipated quickly enough; therefore repeated surge cycles leading destructive fatigue, rather than efficiency gains or mass reduction.
