← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs in a turbocharger when crankshaft torsional vibrations exceed design tolerances?
A)Increased compressor blade fatigue✓
B)Reduced intercooler heat rejection
C)Elevated manifold absolute pressure
D)Decreased wastegate valve efficiency
💡 Explanation
Increased compressor blade fatigue occurs because resonance between crankshaft vibrations and compressor leads to high-cycle fatigue; the mechanism is sympathetic vibration. Therefore blade failure results, rather than alterations of heat transfer, pressure, or valve function.
