Which phenomenon limits jet engine efficiency at higher compression ratios?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the compressor surge line occurs because of increased pressure differentials destabilizing airflow in the compressor during the Brayton cycle; therefore airflow reverses creating surge, rather than efficient compression because pressure rises past stability threshold.
