← ScienceWhich risk increases in a supercritical fluid power turbine when deviating from optimal pressure?
A)Reduced turbine blade mechanical strength
B)Increased stator isentropic flow efficiency
C)Enhanced cavitation erosion rates✓
D)Diminished condenser heat transfer coefficient
💡 Explanation
Deviating pressure around the critical point encourages rapid vaporization and condensation because it impacts the **homogeneous nucleation** rate; therefore, cavitation dramatically escalates in turbine components rather than other inefficiencies at supercritical regimes.
