Which outcome occurs when water spray impacts supercooled turbine blades?

A)Rapid ice buildup causing mass imbalance
B)Blade surface hydrolysis accelerates corrosion
C)Increased aerodynamic efficiency is reached
D)Vapor pressure lowers in boundary layer

💡 Explanation

Icing occurs because the Leidenfrost effect delays evaporation, allowing metastable water to freeze, and the phase transition releases heat, therefore accelerating more freezing, increasing ice thickness and mass imbalance; rather than increased efficiency or chemical change typically
