← ScienceWhich risk increases when the Brayton cycle compressor stalls?
A)Turbine blade overheating✓
B)Decreased thermal efficiency
C)Increased fuel consumption
D)Combustion chamber explosion
💡 Explanation
Compressor stall causes a disruption of airflow to the turbine, because reverse flow heats the turbine blades beyond design limits, leading to overheating due to reduced cooling by the compressed air airflow, therefore overheating rather than other issues occurs. Rather than other combustion issues, stalling is upstream.
