← ScienceWhich outcome results when elevated airspeed causes jet engine compressor stall?
A)Separation of turbulent boundary layer✓
B)Laminar flow re-establishes rapidly
C)Decreased combustion chamber pressure
D)Increased turbine blade efficiency
💡 Explanation
Flow separation results because an adverse pressure gradient causes the turbulent boundary layer to detach, leading locally to reverse flow;therefore, aerodynamic stall occurs rather than the opposite, because a pressure drop recovers the situation.
