In the Rankine cycle, water/steam is usually superheated at the inlet of the turbine to avoid or minimize the presence of liquidWhat is Rankine cycle?The pressure increase that happens when a condensed fluid is forced to evaporate inside a container vessel is utilized by the Rankine cycle for practical purposes. When a fluid, like water, is compressed and subjected to high pressure, the cycle starts. The compressed fluid turns into a vapor when the liquid is heated, and this vapor can be employed to provide mechanical energy. In the Rankine cycle, The vapor cools and condenses back into liquid form as the heat is diminished. then the cycle starts over.The process that happens at the turbine:A rotating shaft or plate is equipped with a row of blades. The inner shaft of the turbine is thus made to rotate by the passage of water over its blades. After that, a generator uses this rotational motion to produce electricity.Hence we can say that the turbine avoids or minimizes the presence of liquidTo know more about turbines and the Rankine cycle please follow the link.https://brainly.com/question/13258692#SPJ4
