A power plant operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle. If superheating is added to this cycle, then which one of the following options is CORRECT ?
- A. Pump work increases, turbine work output increases, cycle efficiency increases, and moisture content at turbine exit increases
- B. Pump work remains same, turbine work output increases, cycle efficiency increases, and moisture content at turbine exit increases
- C. Pump work remains same, turbine work output increases, cycle efficiency increases, and moisture content at turbine exit decreases
- D. Pump work decreases, turbine work output increases, cycle efficiency increases, and moisture content at turbine exit decreases
Answer: C. Pump work remains same, turbine work output increases, cycle efficiency increases, and moisture content at turbine exit decreases
