Which effect increases in a steam turbine when liquid water transitions prematurely to vapor?

💡 Explanation

Blade erosion increases because cavitation causes collapsing vapor bubbles that focus energy onto the turbine blades during the phase transition. Therefore, erosion occurs rather than improvements because pressure differentials are affected by mixed-phase fluid.
