🔍 Key Concepts

• Compressor surge in turbocharged or gas turbine engines • Relationship between airflow through the compressor and pressure ratio • What happens when air supply is restricted or unstable

💭 Think About

• Think about what condition would make air stop flowing smoothly through the compressor and start oscillating or reversing direction. • Which option describes something that directly affects the continuity and stability of airflow through the compressor? • Which choices affect fuel or temperature, and which one directly affects how air actually moves into and through the compressor stages?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option directly changes airflow stability into the compressor, not just fuel settings. • Eliminate any choices that mainly affect combustion rather than the mechanical behavior of the compressor itself. • Ask: in surge, is the primary problem too much fuel, too little air, or disrupted air movement through the compressor?
