Which outcome occurs when exceeding design limits in steam turbine engines?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding steam property limits causes increased bearing friction and overheating because improper lubrication and thermal expansion initiate the process of adhesive wear. Increasing turbine temperatures beyond designed limits causes failure rather than improved efficiency therefore bearings overheat.
