Which consequence results when exceeding the maximum temperature in a Rankine cycle steam turbine?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding maximum temperature causes creep formation, a time-dependent plastic deformation, reducing blade lifespan, because it increases the thermally-activated vacancy diffusion mechanism. Therefore, creep occurs, rather than embrittlement or simple expansion, which are independent consequences.
