← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when water spray impacts supercooled turbine blades?
A)Rapid ice buildup causing mass imbalance✓
B)Blade surface hydrolysis accelerates corrosion
C)Increased aerodynamic efficiency is reached
D)Vapor pressure lowers in boundary layer
💡 Explanation
Icing occurs because the Leidenfrost effect delays evaporation, allowing metastable water to freeze, and the phase transition releases heat, therefore accelerating more freezing, increasing ice thickness and mass imbalance; rather than increased efficiency or chemical change typically
