Which outcome occurs when exceeding design limits of gas turbine's compressor?

A)Surge conditions and flow instability
B)Increased combustion efficiency uniformly
C)Reduced turbine blade heat stress
D)Improved power output consistently

💡 Explanation

Exceeding compressor limits leads to fluid breakdown and surge, because aerodynamic stall causes flow reversal, therefore pressure fluctuations inducing instability, rather than improved efficiency/output, and cooling decreases; thermal stresses arise
