1. In a steam turbine if wet steam enters whether turbine shaft may experience axial shift leading to break down? if so what is engineering explanation? 2. If suddenly turbine load become double, whether axial shift can happen?

1.Yes..axial failure will happen and lead to another breakdown such as turbine wheel rubbing,bearings breakdown,water contamination will caused the turbine corroted..depends on type of turbine..
