Which outcome occurs when an open Rankine cycle operates to the wetness limit?

💡 Explanation

Following the Rankine cycle to saturation results in increased moisture content at the turbine exhaust; this leads to cavitation through liquid impingement because of physical striking. Therefore, substantial blade erosion happens, rather than cycle efficiency improving because losses overcome any superheating removal.
