Which risk increases dramatically when a reversible thermal engine's working fluid experiences uncontrolled phase transition?

A)Turbine blade cavitation erosion
B)Increased condenser heat-soaking
C)Decreased thermal energy recovery
D)Reduced isothermal expansion rate

💡 Explanation

Turbine blade cavitation erosion increases because the mechanism of vapor bubble formation leads to collapse near solid boundaries, therefore, this is the core risk, rather than heat soak which is mitigated or process changes affecting operation efficiency.
