Question 10-1. Why is the Carnot cycle not a realistic model for steam power plants? Please select all corrected answers. Group of answer choices High moisture content in the turbine section Seeking higher thermal efficiencies using other power cycles. Limiting the heat transfer processes to two-phase systems.

Answer 1

Questions does not provide enough details therefore i have added full question with answer see attached picture.

Answer:

Carnot cycle is not a realistic model for steam power plant due to the following reasons:

1. Isentropically pumping two phase flow is not practical

2. High moisture content in the turbine section.

3. Limiting the heat transfer processes to two-phase systems.
