Which outcome occurs when the turbine inlet temperature in a combined cycle power plant exceeds design limits?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated creep occurs because thermal stress increases exponentially with temperature increase, inducing plastic deformation within the turbine material rather than elastic deformation alone; therefore creep accelerates because stress ruptures faster, not other listed outcomes.
