In which of the following cases, consideration of creep is important
A
Flywheel of steam engine
B
Cast iron pipes
C
Cycle chains
D
Gas turbine blades
Correct Answer: Gas turbine blades
Gas turbine blade is made up of exotic materials superalloys to withstand in the difficult environment inside the gas turbine.As a consequence of operating the gas turbine at high temperature and high stresses, the turbine blades are subjected to certain deformation (creep).
