Which outcome occurs when an adiabatic gas turbine freezes?

A)Power output decreases significantly
B)Efficiency remains about constant
C)Compressor workload will decrease
D)Turbine blades become more efficient

💡 Explanation

Ice obstructs airflow during turbine phases because it reduces available enthalpy, therefore power output decreases significantly, rather than workload decreasing, because obstruction increases system effort under normal circumstances, not less, despite temperature differences enhancing ideal isentropic stages.
