Question

Which of the following statements regarding a Rankine cycle with reheating are TRUE?
(i) increase in a average temperature of heat addition
(ii) reduction in thermal efficiency
(iii) drier steam at the turbine exit

• A. only (i) and (ii) are correct
• B. only (ii) and (iii) are correct
• C. only (i) and (iii) are correct
• D. (i), (ii) and (iii) are correct

Answer 1

The correct option is C only (i) and (iii) are correct

Rankine cycle with reheating Advantages
(i) Increase in a average temperature of heat addition
(ii) Increase in thermal efficiency
(iii) Drier steam at the turbine exit i.e., decrease in moisture content of the steam at the low-pressure turbine exit, reducing the turbine blade erosion.
