← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when raising boiler feed water temperature?
A)Decreased thermal stress on boiler✓
B)Increased condensate in steam system
C)Reduced turbine blade erosion rate
D)Elevated risk of water hammer
💡 Explanation
Increased feed water temperature reduces thermal shock during phase transition because thermal expansion introduces less stress, therefore lowers material fatigue rather than increasing component wear related issues like erosion or hammer in the system.
