Rankine Cycle for Power Generation By P M V Subbarao Mechanical Engineering Department I I T Delhi An appropriate amalgamation of Theory and Practice !!!!
Ideal Rankine Cyclic Model for Power Generation System
Constant Pressure Steam Generation
Constant Pressure Steam Generation Process Constant Pressure Steam Generation: =0 Theory of flowing Steam Generation
Knowledge for Energy Audit Constant Pressure Steam Generation: Practical way of understanding the use of fuel energy: Is it possible to get high temperature with same amount of burnt fuel? What decides the maximum possible increase for same amount of burnt fuel?

Carnot’s View of Rankine Cycle Creation of Temperature at constant pressure :
Phase Behavior & Expenditure Vs Wastage h s Liquid Liquid +Vapour Vapour

Analysis of Steam Generation Process Heat Addition in Steam Generator, q in Define entropy based mean
First Law Analysis of the Rankine Cycle Main components of the above cycle are: 1) Pump – Generate high Pressure water. 2) Boiler (steam generator) – heat exchanger 3) Turbine – generates mechanical power 4) Condenser – heat exchanger
Pump : Adiabatic Process SSSF: Conservation of mass First Law : No heat transfer, change in kinetic and potential energies are negligible
For SSSF Process: Liquids are incompressible, change in volume per unit change in Pressure is negligible.
Pumping of Incompressible Fluids Adiabatic pumping of a liquid is almost an Isothermal process!!
