← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when lean fuel mixtures combust in a turbocharger?
A)Increased turbine blade temperature✓
B)Reduced compressor surge margin
C)Enhanced catalyst light-off time
D)Decreased manifold absolute pressure
💡 Explanation
Increased turbine blade temperature occurs because lean fuel mixtures cause the flame temperature to increase due to a higher air/fuel ratio, leading to increased thermal load on the turbine via the mechanism of "stoichiometric imbalance." Thus, blade failure can result rather than improved engine efficiency.
