Vapor Power Generation

The Rankine Cycle

Power Generation Cycles

• Vapor Power Generation Cycles

– Working fluid experiences a phase change

– Example: Steam Power Plant

• Gas Power Generation Cycles

– Working fluid stays in the vapor or gas phase

– Example: Gas Turbine Engine

• Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Cycles

– The working fluid is air in a closed piston-cylinder

– Example: Spark ignition ICE

– Example: Compression ignition ICE

The Ideal Rankine Cycle

The Ideal Rankine Cycle

• 1-2: Isentropic expansion through the turbine from a saturated (or superheated) vapor state to the condenser pressure

• 2-3: Heat transfer from the steam at constant pressure through the condenser to a saturated liquid

• 3-4: Isentropic process through the pump to the boiler pressure

• 4-1: Heat transfer to the steam at constant pressure through the boiler to complete the cycle

The ideal Rankine Cycle is

internally reversible

- No friction effects

Turbine and pump are

reversible and adiabatic

- Isentropic
