Answer

See explanation below.

Work Step by Step

It is not a good idea. When turbine is cooled with water, turbine will not run under adiabatic condition and loose its energy to water. Moreover, as we know work associated with steady-flow devices is proportional to the specific volume of the gas. The specific volume of the working gas will reduce due to cooling and work output of turbine will also reduce.
