← ScienceConsider a steam turbine operating sub-optimally if liquid water enters alongside steam, which consequence results from droplet formation?
A)Erosion increases due to cavitation✓
B)Blade fatigue strengthens, resonance minimized
C)Turbine efficiency increases markedly overall
D)Heat transfer rises in the stator
💡 Explanation
Erosion increases because cavitation undergoes inception due to rapid boiling and collapsing vapor bubbles causing pitting damage; therefore, efficiency drops and damage accelerates, rather than uniform wear or better heat transfer, which would require other conditions.
