← TechnologyWhich risk substantially increases when inlet guide vanes on a jet engine's turbine fail to adjust optimally?
A)Compressor stall margin is reduced✓
B)Turbine blade creep accelerates rapidly
C)Fuel consumption decreases significantly
D)Bearing lubrication improves temporarily
💡 Explanation
Inlet guide vane misalignment causes non-optimal airflow angles hitting compressor blades, initiating a stall. Compressor stall margin lowers because skewed airflow reduces the pressure rise before flow reversal. Therefore A, rather than creep, consumption, or lubricant behavior, is the primary impact.
