Which consequence results when a steam turbine develops blade erosion during cyclic operation?

💡 Explanation

Erosion roughens the blade surfaces, disrupting smooth airflow, generating turbulence, and decreasing the isentropic Efficiency. This loss happens because flow separation increases friction, therefore power output drops and efficiency suffers, rather than increased resonant frequency at designed cycle speeds.
