List the four stages of an ideal Rankin cycle
What will be an ideal response?
The four steps are:
(1) Pressurize the working fluid with a pump
(2) Heat the working fluid to boiling or beyond boiling, thus converting it to a dry saturated vapor
(3) Expand the dry vapor in a turbine, which extracts a large portion of the energy from the vapor, in turn cooling it and thus causing it to become a saturated vapor at reduced pressure
(4) Condense the wet vapor back to a low-pressure liquid by cooling it in a condenser at a constant temperature
