EFFECTS OF REHEAT ON THE VAPOR CYCLE

With superheat and reheat , thermal efficiency is increased over
that of the ideal rankine cycle , for the specified net power
output a larger thermal efficiency means that a smaller mass
flow rate of stream is required. More over with a greater thermal
efficiency the rate of heat transfer to the cooling water is also
less , resulting in a reduced demand for cooling water. With
reheating , the steam quality at the turbine exhaust is
substantially increased over the value of the ideal rankine cycle.
