Which risk increases when water within a sealed steam turbine undergoes significant phase change?

A)Blade erosion accelerates dramatically
B)Bearing lubrication becomes ineffective
C)Magnetic field strength diminishes
D)Corrosion rates sharply decrease

💡 Explanation

Blade erosion increases because cavitation results as the phase change (liquid to vapor) causes vapor bubbles to collapse violently on turbine blades, impacting their surface due to microjets; therefore erosion accelerates, rather than decreased lubrication issues, magnetic changes, or decreased corrosion.
