← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when exceeding design RPM in turbines?
A)Blade resonance causes catastrophic mechanical failure✓
B)Increased efficiency improves power output
C)Bearing lubrication enhances cooling effect
D)Fuel consumption reaches minimum stable level
💡 Explanation
Blade resonance begins upon reaching critical frequency, because a positive feedback loop amplifies vibration via mechanical resonance. This induces fatigue cracking if sustained; therefore, blade failure is likely rather than increased performance, as bearing lubrication is unrelated.
