Solution

The correct answer is:

c. Heat supplied will increase, heat rejected will increase, turbine work output will increase and moisture content leaving turbine will decrease.

Here's why:

  1. Superheating the steam to a higher temperature means more heat is being supplied to the system. Hence, the heat supplied increases.

  2. The heat rejected will also increase because the steam entering the condenser is at a higher temperature, so it will reject more heat before it condenses.

  3. The turbine work output will increase because the steam is at a higher temperature and pressure, which means it has more energy to convert into work.

  4. The moisture content of the steam leaving the turbine will decrease. This is because superheating the steam to a higher temperature moves it further into the superheated region of the T-s diagram, away from the saturation line. This means it has less moisture content.
