Home » Thermodynamics » Thermodynamics Miscellaneous » 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

1. only (i) and (ii) are correct
2. only (ii) and (iii) are correct
3. only (i) and (iii) are correct
4. (i), (ii) and (iii) are correct

Correct Option: C

With reheat aver age temperature of heat addition increases. Hence, efficiency of cycle also increases. Further, the quality of steam is higher at turbine exit.
