← ScienceWhich consequence results when water exceeds superheated steam saturation point?
A)Blade erosion increases sharply✓
B)Turbine efficiency reaches maximum level
C)Condensation shockwave risk is reduced
D)Carnot cycle approaches ideality.
💡 Explanation
Erosion risk rises when liquid droplets form because homogeneous nucleation creates microscopic imperfections fostering droplet growth; this two-phase flow impacts blades due to momentum transfer rather than ideal gas-like behavior, therefore higher erosive wear.
