1. Rankine Cycle
In introducing the 2nd law of thermodynamics, we consider the cyclic heat engines consisting of four separate processes. ... In Carnot Cycle, it would be difficult to control the condensation process (heat rejections from fluid) so that it stopped as state 1. ... Now the low temperature and the pressure vapor enters the condenser, where heat will be rejected from working fluid (vapor) and it will condense. ... In the idealized Rankine cycle, heat transfer takes place to the working fluid in a constant pressure process in a boiler. ... EFFICIENCY OF RANKINE CYCLE Heat supplied QH =m (h2-h1) ...
