← TechnologyWhich consequence results when an oscillating control valve causes periodic vapor bubble collapse in a hydroelectric turbine?
A)Surge tank water hammer
B)Blade material cavitation erosion✓
C)Increased penstock static pressure
D)Generator stator winding overheating
💡 Explanation
Material loss occurs because energy released during vapor bubble collapse in cavitation erosion creates intense, localized micro-jetting. Therefore, the blade erodes, rather than causing pressure surges because surge tanks protect against that.
