Which risk increases when a gas turbine cycle experiences blade erosion?

💡 Explanation

Increased blade clearance from erosion reduces aerodynamic efficiency; therefore, energy remains in the gas, resulting in elevated exhaust gas temperature, rather than improved efficiency or decreased temperatures, because the cycle converts less thermal energy to kinetic.
