Which outcome occurs when the working fluid in a turbine's closed Rankine cycle superheats?

💡 Explanation

Superheating increases the average temperature at which heat is added during conversion, which leads to a greater thermal efficiency due to Carnots' principle. Therefore the cycle thermal efficency increases, rather than lower pressures that arise from increased volume.
