Description

This lecture discusses the key concepts of the Rankine cycle, focusing on the Gibbs phase rule for determining system properties, the mechanical efficiency related to high and low temperatures, and the practical limitations of the mechanical cycle. It then explores the Rankine cycle used in power plants, its four main steps, and ways to enhance its efficiency through superheating, reheating, draw off, and more efficient components.
