← ScienceWhich outcome raises specific fuel consumption in turbofan engines?
A)Increased turbine inlet temperature via creep✓
B)Decreased bypass ratio due to blockage
C)Elevated compressor stage back pressure
D)Augmented fan blade tip clearance drag
💡 Explanation
Increased turbine inlet temperature can cause turbine blade creep because the stress on the blades increases at high temperatures due to greater expansion. Therefore fuel consumption rises, rather than reduced consumption that back pressure might cause.
