Which outcome occurs within a geothermal power plant's turbine when the working fluid has incomplete isobaric phase change?

💡 Explanation

Reduced cycle efficiency results because using wet steam forces the isentropic enthalpy change on the turbine outlet fluid in the Rankine thermodynamic cycle to deviate from theoretical limits; therefore the Carnot efficiency decreases rather than only pressure or component lifecycle limitations alone, assuming a given heat input.
