Rankine cycle is a reversible cycle which has two constant pressure and two isentropic processes.
These are four processes in the Rankine cycle:
Process 1–2: Isentropic compression:
- Working fluid is pumped from low to high pressure.
Process 2–3: Isobaric heat addition:
- The high-pressure liquid enters a boiler where it is heated at constant pressure by an external heat source to become a dry saturated vapour.
Process 3–4: Isentropic expansion:
- The dry saturated vapour expands through a turbine, generating power.
Process 4–1: Isobaric heat rejection:
- The wet vapour then enters a condenser where it is condensed at constant pressure and temperature to become a saturated liquid.
