Which risk increases when throttling wet steam in a steam turbine?

💡 Explanation

Erosion increases because throttling causes expansion and a drop in pressure and temperature of wet steam. Therefore, more steam condenses releasing liquid water, leading to high-speed water droplets that cause erosion, rather than other thermal or chemical changes.
