← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when exceeding design limits in steam turbine engines?
A)Increased bearing friction and overheating✓
B)Enhanced blade cooling efficiency gains
C)Improved power output at all temps
D)Reduced erosion of turbine blades
💡 Explanation
Exceeding steam property limits causes increased bearing friction and overheating because improper lubrication and thermal expansion initiate the process of adhesive wear. Increasing turbine temperatures beyond designed limits causes failure rather than improved efficiency therefore bearings overheat.
