← TechnologyWhich risk increases when turbine blades experience extreme centrifugal forces while operating?
A)Material creep and plastic deformation✓
B)Increased boundary layer separation
C)Elevated exhaust gas temperatures overall
D)Reduction of compressor stall margin
💡 Explanation
Material creep increases because high centrifugal force causes atomic diffusion across grain boundaries via vacancy migration; therefore, the turbine blades deform plastically rather than maintaining their original shape at acceptable stress tolerances.
