Which consequence arises when a closed Rankine cycle operates with superheated steam?

💡 Explanation

Turbine blade erosion risk increases because the presence of water droplets due to incomplete expansion causes impact damage which constitutes cavitation; therefore mechanical damage increases rather than enhancing efficiency, because incomplete expansion occurs.
