Rankine cycle
Videos
The Rankine cycle is an idealized thermodynamic cycle describing the process by which certain heat engines, such as steam turbines or reciprocating steam engines, allow mechanical work to be extracted

An isentropic process is an idealized thermodynamic process that is both adiabatic and reversible. In thermodynamics, adiabatic processes are reversible. Clausius adopted "isentropic" as meaning the s

…cycle. The states are identified by numbers (in brown) in the T–s diagram. Successive processes of the Rankine cycle Process Summary Explanation 1–2 Isentropic compression The working fluid is pumped from low to high pressure. As the fluid is a liquid at this stage, the pump requires little input energy. 2–3…
