← ScienceWhich outcome reduces power output in Rankine cycle turbines?
A)Steam desuperheating before entering turbine
B)Increased condenser cooling water temperature✓
C)Higher boiler operating pressure
D)Lower specific volume saturated gases
💡 Explanation
Increased cooling water temperature reduces heat rejected via condensation, decreasing the cycle's efficiency due to a higher low-temperature reservoir, activating the Carnot efficiency mechanism; therefore less work converted, rather than from steam conditions.
