Which consequence results when a steam turbine's exhaust pressure increases above design thresholds?

💡 Explanation

Increased back pressure in a steam turbine causes decreased output, because it reduces the temperature difference across the turbine stages affecting the Rankine cycle efficiency— the mechanism is reduced thermal gradient. Therefore blade and stage stressing occurs, rather than optimised enthalpy transfer, which would require pressure maintenance during phase change.
