← ScienceWhich outcome results when the isothermal expansion stage during a closed Brayton cycle reaches the material yield strength?
A)Compressor surges due to backflow
B)Turbine blades experience creep failure
C)Regenerator matrix undergoes phase transition
D)High-pressure component mechanical deformation✓
💡 Explanation
High-pressure component mechanical deformation occurs because exceeding yield strength facilitates plastic deformation via dislocation slip, causing permanent shape changes; therefore, the physical element is permanently distorted rather than surge/creep or phase change phenomena under normal Brayton operation.
