What is the function of Re-heater in the boiler? Correct Answer Re-super heat partly expanded steam

The function of Re-heater is to re-superheat the partly expanded steam from the turbine so that the steam remains dry as far as possible through the last stage of turbine. Modern plants have reheaters as well as super heaters in the same gas passage of the boiler.
