← ScienceWhich risk increases when exceeding maximum operating temperatures in a Brayton cycle turbine?
A)Blade creep rupture accelerates✓
B)Exhaust NOx emissions decrease
C)Compressor surge margin expands
D)Thermal efficiency approaches Carnot's
💡 Explanation
Exceeding design temperatures increases blade creep because vacancy diffusion and dislocation climb, which are temperature-dependent processes, accelerate. Elevated creep leads to premature failure rather than improved emissions or efficiency as those rely on other components being within spec.
