← ScienceWhich risk increases when the working fluid purity decreases in ORC turbine systems that process phase transitions?
A)Uncontrolled thermal runaway reactions begin
B)Cavitation damage on turbine blades occur✓
C)Exceedance of tensile strength tolerances
D)Deactivation of reaction catalyst species
💡 Explanation
Cavitation risk increases because heterogeneous nucleation occurs more readily on impurities in the fluid, thereby causing vapor bubbles to form and collapse violently near the turbine blades. Nucleation causes cavitation, rather than, deactivation processes for example which involves poisoning.
