Question

Identity the incorrect statement, from the following options related to Reheat in a Rankine cycle ________

A.

produces higher Rankine cycle efficiency

B.

addition of heat to steam in each reheat stage is done to raise its temperature 

C.

involves partial expansion of steam in successive turbine stages 

D.

results in lower average temperature of heat addition 

Answer ( Option D)

results in lower average temperature of heat addition 

Solution

Reheating of a Rankine cycle is done to remove the moisture carried by the steam at the final stages of the expansion process.

The effects of Reheating are as follows:

(i) The thermal efficiency of cycle increases.

(ii) It increases the average mean temperature of heat addition.

Reheating involves partial expansion of steam in successive turbine stages.

Hence, the correct option is (D).
