Which outcome occurs when exceeding the pressure limit within a Rankine power cycle?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding pressure limits causes localized boiling and collapse within the turbine because *vapour-filled cavities* create microjets during implosion that erode the blades by cavitation; therefore, cavitation increases, rather than improved efficiency, as superheated steam and pressure imbalance degrades turbine function earlier.
