Which outcome occurs when injecting hot steam into turbine exhaust manifold (Rankine Cycle)?

💡 Explanation

Decreased isentropic efficiency results because of intermixing the hot injected steam with working vapor exhaust gas. This causes a non-isentropic process of partial condensation, therefore decreasing expansion efficiency, rather than increasing it without phase and enthalpy adjustments.
