Which constraint limits energy extraction from Carnot cycle steam turbines?

A)Condenser cooling water temperature
B)Turbine blade thermal capacity
C)Steam generator maximum pressure
D)Nozzle erosion particulate concentration

💡 Explanation

Carnot cycle efficiency depends on the temperature differential; reduced cooling water temperatures improve heat rejection, therefore, increased condenser efficiency leads to higher overall turbine output rather than alternatives like blade thermal capacity influencing the heating rate alone.
