for a rankine cycle, state 1 at the inlet of the turbine: a) is either saturated liquid or compressed liquid b) must be saturate vapor. c) is either saturated vapor or superheated. d) must be inside the vapor dome.

In the Rankine cycle, state 1 at the inlet of the turbine is either saturated vapor or superheated.What is the Rankine cycle?The Rankine cycle involves four processes.The working fluid is pumped from low to high pressure in step two. The fluid is now a liquid, therefore the pump only needs a small input of energy. Isentropic compression is process 1-2.Process 2-3: The high-pressure liquid is introduced into a boiler and heated at constant pressure by an external heat source to transform it into a dry saturated vapor. Process 2-3 involves adding steady pressure heat to the boiler.Process 3-4: A turbine is expanded by the dry, saturated vapor to produce power. The vapor's temperature and pressure are reduced as a result, and some condensation may take place.While the fluid enters the state 1 inlet of the turbine the fluid must be either saturated vapor or superheated.Hence to conclude the fluid is either saturated vapor or superheated.Please follow the link below to know more about the Rankine cyclehttps://brainly.com/question/13258692#SPJ4
