Solution

The answer is d. Yes, but superheating would involve a higher turbine inlet temperature.

Superheating the steam to a single turbine does increase the enthalpy and entropy, similar to reheating. However, it also increases the temperature of the steam entering the turbine. This higher temperature can lead to thermal stresses in the turbine, potentially causing damage. Therefore, while superheating can increase the power extracted from the turbine, it also comes with potential downsides.
