← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when an open Rankine cycle operates to the wetness limit?
A)Turbine blade erosion notably accelerates✓
B)Overall system efficiency sees improvement
C)Superheating requirements become effectively eliminated
D)Condenser pressure reaches non-condensable vapor point
💡 Explanation
Following the Rankine cycle to saturation results in increased moisture content at the turbine exhaust; this leads to cavitation through liquid impingement because of physical striking. Therefore, substantial blade erosion happens, rather than cycle efficiency improving because losses overcome any superheating removal.
