Which risk significantly increases when uneven cooling occurs in a gas turbine?

💡 Explanation

Increased blade creep arises because differential thermal expansion creates localized stress concentrations. Thermally-induced creep distorts the blades, therefore compromising aerodynamic profiles. This thermal gradient stress rather than uniform expansion reduces durability.
