← ScienceWhich consequence results when a turbine operates with liquid carryover in its steam supply?
A)Erosion increases blade fatigue✓
B)Stator efficiency severely declines
C)Generator coil insulation degrades
D)Bearing lubrication becomes contaminated
💡 Explanation
Blade erosion increases because impingement of liquid droplets causes cavitation; the sudden collapse of vapor bubbles against the metal surface creates shock waves, therefore blade fatigue increases rather than stator inefficiency resulting from altered steam flow.
