Question

One of the conditions for Uniform Circular Motion is that the acceleration be centripetal and directed toward the center of motion. What would the effect be of a non-zero acceleration parallel to the tangential velocity?
Ac = v^2/r

v increases
but there is no radial force
so
v^2/r has to be the same
so
r has to increase.
