Question

Which of the below best describes the reason the reheat Rankine cycle can produce higher thermal efficiencies than the simple Rankine cycle? (circle best answer) Select one: a. The reheat Rakine cycle has two turbines, so more power can be produced. b. The heat addition in the reheat Rankine cycle occurs at a lower average temperature. c. The reheat Rankine cycle has a reheater section in the boiler, so more heat can be added while burning the same amount of fuel (e.g., coal or natural gas). O d. The heat addition in the reheat Rankine cycle occurs at a higher average temperature.

Answer 1

Rankine cycle can poroduce * The reheat ebbiciencies the simple than high thermal Rankine due to two (a) The re heat Paskine turbines so more power Cycle has can be produced Rehealing we een Reason Послео е quality of steam at and of Ebeir durbine section Also have secondary turbine this getting more power and turbine ebbiciency in Grease the drop accross the ends Increase so by reheating increasing the durbine enthalpy drop thereby increace as enthalpy are efficiency. ssion Ppat
