In a steam power plant, the value of the reheat factor is of the order of:
Right Answer is:
1.1 to 1.5
SOLUTION
Reheat factor:
- It is defined as the ratio of cumulative heat drop to the adiabatic heat drop in all stages of the turbine.
- The value of the reheat factor depends on the type and efficiency of the turbine.
- The value of the reheat factor is of the order of 1.1 to 1.5
