Question 74Gas Turbine - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is D) All of the above. Compressor stall, which can lead to engine failure, can be prevented by utilizing a combination of these techniques: 1) A two-spool compressor rotor design helps prevent compressor stall by allowing the high-pressure and low-pressure stages to operate at different speeds, improving overall compressor stability. 2) Lowering the angle of attack on the front compressor stages reduces the risk of flow separation and stall. 3) Installing air bleed valves in the middle of the compressor allows for controlled air bleed-off, which can alleviate stall conditions. Using all three of these methods together provides the most comprehensive approach to preventing dangerous compressor stall in marine and aviation gas turbine engines.
