Which risk increases following the adiabatic expansion stage in a large-scale reciprocating engine?

💡 Explanation

Liner cavitation is likely due to dramatic pressure drops and temperature gradients. Adiabatic expansion causes rapid piston movement, which reduces local pressure, promoting bubble formation and subsequent collapse near cylinder liners due to the Bernoulli effect; therefore liner cavitation, rather than other thermal alternatives, becomes prevalent.
