Which outcome occurs when turbine blades experience tip clearance in steam engines?

💡 Explanation

Decreased stage efficiency and power output occurs because tip clearance causes leakage flow, leading to energy loss, and therefore the steam does less work; rather than lower fatigue or improved condensation, efficiency drops.
