Which consequence results when supercritical fluid enters turbine passage?

A)Reduced isentropic turbine efficiency
B)Increased blade resonance frequency
C)Enhanced hydrodynamic lubrication regime
D)Decreased nozzle corrosion severity

💡 Explanation

Partial condensation causes reduced isentropic turbine efficiency through the mechanism of phase transition because non-equilibrium conditions quickly generate entropy within the flow path, therefore creating a lower overall quality steam rather than ideal energy-conserving expansion.
