← ScienceWhich outcome occurs from increased backpressure in a turbine?
A)Engine efficiency undergoes significant degradation✓
B)Increased blade speeds above design limits
C)Complete combustion within the cylinders
D)Volumetric airflow rate becomes significantly elevated
💡 Explanation
Increased backpressure directly hinders the exhaust phase within cylinders of the turbine, because there is a rise in pressure across the turbine resulting from increased opposing force; therefore engine efficiency degrades dramatically rather than burning the fuel more completely.
