← ScienceWhich risk significantly increases when exceeding design limits in a supercritical Rankine cycle?
A)Turbine blade erosion from liquid✓
B)Decreased pump cavitation probability
C)Enhanced heat exchanger condensation
D)Reduced steam generator corrosion rate
💡 Explanation
Exceeding pressure or temperature constraints causes fluid property fluctuations, therefore increasing turbine blade erosion due to uncontrolled liquid droplet formation via desuperheating, rather than consistent vapor behavior because energy input is unpredictable. The mechanism is phase instability.
