← ScienceWhich effect emerges when the condenser temperature diminishes toward ambient in a steam turbine?
A)Decreased thermal efficiency overall yield✓
B)Increased condenser vacuum back-pressure formed
C)Elevated turbine blade speed performance
D)Enhanced superheated steam inlet capacity
💡 Explanation
Decreasing condenser implies reduced temperature difference thus lowers thermal efficiency because the Rankine cycle efficiency depends directly on the temperature differences; therefore efficiency drops, rather than a back-pressure increase, which is usually caused by flow blockage.
