The reheat factor Rf for a steam turbine is usually in the range of
- A. 0 to 1
- B. 1 to 1.065
- C. 2 to 2.065
- D. 5 to 10
Answer: B. 1 to 1.065
Explanation: The reheat factor represents the increase in cumulative enthalpy drop due to reheating, which makes it slightly greater than 1, typically in the range of 1.02 to 1.06.
