Which outcome occurs when an isentropic expansion of steam in a nozzle causes localized supersonic flow?

💡 Explanation

Wilson condensation occurs because rapid isentropic expansion leads to supersaturation, causing spontaneous nucleation of droplets, rather than cavitation that depends on sub-saturation. Therefore, smaller droplets nucleate and form.
