The Rankine Cycle: Boiler
Rankine Cycle
Process 1-2:
Process 2-3:
Process 3-4:
Process 4-1:
Boiler
- Heat added at constant pressure.
Turbine
Condenser
Pump
- Isentropic expansion
- Heat rejected at constant pressure.
- Isentropic compression
1st Law: Boiler
- SISO, SS, Int. Rev. process
- ΔEkin = ΔEpot = 0
- No shaft work in the boiler
The boiler effluent can be superheated vapor in a
Rankine Cycle
.When stream 2 is superheated, the quality of the turbine effluent increases and reduces the chances of damaging the turbine rotor.
