← ScienceWhich consequence arises when a closed Rankine cycle operates with superheated steam?
A)Turbine blade erosion risk increases✓
B)Reduced condenser efficiency is observed
C)Increased pump cavitation become likely
D)Boiler tube overheating susceptibility increases
💡 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.
