List the four processes in the Rankine cycle.
Think about the sequence of energy transformation.
What does thermal efficiency represent?
It’s a ratio of work output to heat input.
What four processes comprise the Rankine Cycle?
Recall the main energy transformations in the cycle.
Thermal efficiency is defined as the ratio of:
Consider how power plants measure their effectiveness.
In a Rankine cycle, if the boiler pressure is increased to 30 Bar, predict the potential impact on thermal efficiency considering the new average temperatures.
Analyze how increased temperature relates to energy conversion.
Evaluate a scenario where a power plant wants to integrate regeneration into its Rankine cycle. What considerations should be made regarding the system design?
Think about how this integration affects heat transfer.
