← ScienceWhich consequence results when a geothermal power plant turbine experiences cavitation?
A)Reduced operational power output✓
B)Increased condenser cooling efficiency
C)Elevated generator synchronization stability
D)Enhanced heat exchanger performance
💡 Explanation
Reduced power output occurs because the liquid-vapor phase transitions cause the *formation and collapse of vapor bubbles*. This erosion degrades turbine blade surfaces, therefore, overall turbine efficiency drops significantly, rather than enhancing any other aspect.
