← ScienceWhich risk increases inside multistage axial compressors when operated outside design pressure ratios?
A)Surge cycle induced blade fracture✓
B)Erosion due to foreign object debris
C)Bearing failure from viscous heating
D)Stator stall causing efficiency gains
💡 Explanation
Blade fracture risk increases during surge because pressure imbalances initiate a reverse flow **surge cycle**, therefore resulting in alternating stress on compressor blades rather than stable operation at design point.
