← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when exceeding design limits of steam-Rankine thermodynamic cycles?
A)Turbine blade erosion from water✓
B)Increased fuel-air mixture homogeneity
C)Enhanced thermal energy recovery rate
D)Higher superheater tube lifespan
💡 Explanation
Exceeding design temperature or pressure of superheated steam causes incomplete phase transition. Condensation results in liquid droplet impact, therefore inducing cavitation erosion on turbine blades rather than efficient performance, because alternatives occur in ideal functioning.
