← TechnologyWhich outcome is accelerated in a jet engine turbine when hot exhaust gases cause creep deformation?
A)Reduced fuel efficiency over time✓
B)Loud engine noise from unbalanced rotors
C)Increased engine stall from airflow disruption
D)Compressor surge from heat expansion
💡 Explanation
When prolonged high heat exposure causes creep, the turbine blades permanently deform due to thermally-activated atomic diffusion, distorting the airfoil shape and reducing aerodynamic efficiency. Therefore reduced fuel efficiency over time results, rather than noise, stall or surge which involve different aero/mechanical disruptions.
