← ScienceWhich outcome results upon a sudden blockage of the turbine exhaust during a Rankine cycle?
A)Increased condenser heat rejection rate
B)Stalled turbine with adiabatic expansion
C)Vapor phase fluid accumulates upstream✓
D)Decreased boiler pressure due to backflow
💡 Explanation
Blockage causes fluid dynamic backpressure. Accumulation of liquid/vapor occurs, because the exhaust is unable to remove volume. Therefore, two-phase fluid accumulates upstream, rather than changes boiler pressure given feedwater control.
