← ScienceWhich consequence escalates when turbine blades experience steam phase transitions at supersonic speeds?
A)Increased Reynolds number instability
B)Enhanced boundary layer separation
C)Intensified cavitation erosion onset✓
D)Elevated material creep resistance
💡 Explanation
Intensified cavitation erosion onset escalates because rapid pressure changes induce bubble formation and collapse near the blade surface via thermodynamic instability which causes pitting therefore erosion onset is worsened rather than the opposite behavior because other options involve other factors.
