Which risk increases when a closed Rankine cycle steam turbine inlet encounters superheated steam?

💡 Explanation

Blade erosion accelerates because water droplets cause cavitation; this momentum exchange creates surface pitting. Film boiling, a type of Nucleate boiling, at the blade surface then prevents quick vaporisation therefore more cavitation, rather than decreased efficiency under ideal conditions.
