The value of reheat factor normally varies from___________?
Correct answer: C. 1.02 to 1.06
- A. 0.5 to 0.6
- B. 0.9 to 0.95
- C. 1.02 to 1.06
- D. 1.2 to 1.6
Explanation
Because stagewise expansion losses accumulate, the reheat factor is slightly greater than unity, normally about 1.02 to 1.06. Values below 1 would contradict its definition as a ratio of actual to overall isentropic enthalpy drop.
