Which risk significantly increases when exceeding design limits in a supercritical Rankine cycle?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding pressure or temperature constraints causes fluid property fluctuations, therefore increasing turbine blade erosion due to uncontrolled liquid droplet formation via desuperheating, rather than consistent vapor behavior because energy input is unpredictable. The mechanism is phase instability.
