← ScienceWhich consequence results when geothermal steam contains non-condensable gases?
A)Higher turbine blade erosion risk
B)Reduced heat transfer coefficient ✓
C)Increased scaling within wellbore
D)Lower required turbine inlet pressure
💡 Explanation
Reduced heat transfer occurs, therefore, because non-condensable gases create a resistance to condensation; this process reduces the efficiency of converting steam's latent heat during phase transition rather than promoting erosion risk.
