← ScienceWhich risk increases when a jet engine compressor experiences boundary layer separation?
A)Engine stall becomes more probable✓
B)Combustion efficiency significantly increases
C)Thrust vectoring becomes unpredictable
D)Fuel consumption linearly decreases
💡 Explanation
Engine stall is more probable due to boundary layer separation inducing turbulence. Elevated turbulence decreases pressure recovery because momentum transfer mixes slow and fast moving air rather than maintaining a smooth flow; therefore, stall risk grows, rather than efficient combustion.
