Which limitation arises when multistage turbine efficiency plateaus?

💡 Explanation

Transonic profile shock losses increase because above a sustained turbine speed blades experience compressibility effects, which impact performance due to non-isentropic effects. Therefore, losses dominate rather than increasing power output, despite the higher flow-rate and pressures.
