← ScienceWhich risk significantly increases when a jet engine's turbine inlet temperature exceeds design limits?
A)Turbine blade creep degradation✓
B)Decreased compressor stall margin
C)Increased fuel injector clogging
D)Impaired nozzle guide vane alignment
💡 Explanation
Elevated turbine inlet temperatures accelerate turbine blade creep because temperature increases vacancy diffusion rates during diffusional creep, weakening the blade structure. Therefore, creep degradation becomes the primary risk, rather than compressor stall or fuel injector problems at such conditions.
