Which outcome occurs when the Rankine cycle includes superheating?

A)Turbine blade erosion reduced.
B)Condenser effectiveness increases slightly.
C)Feedwater pump work requirement rises.
D)Reheat reduces thermal efficiency impact.

💡 Explanation

Superheating increases the steam's temperature entering the turbine preventing excessive condensation during expansion. This leverages film evaporation because less liquid is present toward the turbine's exit, therefore blade erosion is reduced rather than increasing other cyclical losses or altering cycle efficiency notably.
