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
