Which risk increases when a geothermal turbine using isobutane exceeds its maximum vaporization temperature?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the maximum vaporization temperature increases superheat, changing the isobutane phase. This causes a drastic volume change during liquid compression due to cavitation; therefore, compressor efficiency plummets, rather than just gradual heat transfer loss because of calcification.
