Which outcome occurs when a Rankine cycle steam turbine encounters wet steam?

A)Turbine blade erosion intensifies cavitation impacts
B)Increased superheating from fluid pre-compression
C)Decreased condenser cooling water demand
D)Improved turbine efficiency thermodynamic stability

💡 Explanation

Cavitation increases because rapid pressure changes from wet steam generate vapor bubbles that collapse violently on turbine blades; therefore blade erosion intensifies, rather than superheating or improving cooling, because phase changes are dominated by droplet impingement processes.
