Which consequence results when steam transitions adiabatically inside a turbine?

A)Condensation irreversibly raising turbine blade stress
B)Isothermal expansion precisely preserves energy
C)Superheating increases isentropic efficiencies
D)Friction rapidly reverses entropy throughout

💡 Explanation

Condensation occurs because adiabatic expansion causes the vapour to cool, triggering phase change to a liquid via collision; therefore condensate droplets greatly accelerate erosion, rather than isothermal processes that do not rapidly change temperatures.
