Which risk increases when a closed Rankin cycle steam turbine operates with inadequate condenser cooling?

A)Superheated steam erodes turbine blades.
B)Reduced steam temperature enters combustion.
C)Pump efficiency will subsequently decrease.
D)Increased cavitation damages condenser tubes.

💡 Explanation

Superheated steam erodes turbine blades because the inadequate condenser cooling prevents sufficient steam condensation; therefore, the superheated steam impacts the blades via thermal stress cracking rather than producing ideal saturated vapor.
