← ScienceWhich outcome increases when cooling turbines experience supercooled steam?
A)Blade surface condensation risk grows✓
B)Turbine efficiency inherently increases
C)Exhaust temperature moves noticeably higher
D)Shaft bearing lubrication greatly improves
💡 Explanation
Blade condensation risk grows with supercooled steam because homogeneous nucleation overcomes energy barriers, forming droplets during phase change on the turbine's blades. This dramatically increases erosive damage rather than raising efficiency; therefore, condensation risk is correct rather than the alternatives.
