← ScienceWhich risk increases when exceeding turbine design limits in a power plant's Rankine cycle?
A)Decreased condenser vacuum efficacy
B)Accelerated blade cavitation erosion✓
C)Increased superheater tube corrosion
D)Reduced feedwater pump efficiency
💡 Explanation
Exceeding turbine design limits promotes bubble formation and collapse due to rapid pressure changes; therefore increased blade cavitation erosion occurs because collapsing bubbles damage the surfaces, rather than affecting vacuum, tube condition, or pump efficiency.
