← ScienceWhich outcome limits scramjet performance at high Mach?
A)Decreased combustion efficiency✓
B)Turbine blade shear failure
C)Increased skin friction drag
D)Decreased air intake pressure
💡 Explanation
Decreased combustion efficiency limits scramjets because supersonic airflow inhibits flame holding; therefore, injected fuel may exit uncombusted due to insufficient residence time for complete oxidation rather than effective energy conversion.
