Which outcome impairs efficiency when steam turbines superheat?

A)Reduced nozzle condensation shock
B)Increased turbine blade corrosion
C)Lower heat rejection temperature
D)Enhanced inter-stage bearing lubrication

💡 Explanation

Increased turbine blade corrosion occurs because superheating causes elevated steam temperatures, enhancing oxidation. Therefore, corrosion accelerates, shortening blade lifespan and reducing efficiency, rather than improving performance under ideal conditions.
