Which risk increases when maintaining a closed Rankine cycle near its cavitation limit?

💡 Explanation

Extremely low local pressure within the working fluid encourages bubble formation. Vapor-phase bubble collapse against the turbine surfaces via the cavitation mechanism causes pitting and therefore blade erosion accelerations, rather than leakage, heat loss or motor overload because these scenarios involve separate physics.
