Rankine Cycle
1 / 10
The Rankine cycle is more practical than the Carnot cycle because:
The Rankine cycle avoids the Carnot cycle’s impractical isothermal compression of a two-phase mixture
2 / 10
Reheating in the Rankine cycle is used to:
Reheating reduces moisture content in steam, preventing turbine blade erosion and improving efficiency.
Heat is added in the boiler at constant pressure to convert water to steam.
3 / 10
The boiler in the Rankine cycle adds heat at:
4 / 10
The Rankine cycle typically operates between:
The Rankine cycle operates between high pressure (boiler) and low pressure (condenser).
5 / 10
The efficiency of the Rankine cycle can be improved by:
Superheating increases the temperature of steam, improving cycle efficiency.
6 / 10
The purpose of the condenser in the Rankine cycle is to:
The condenser converts the exhaust steam back into liquid water for the pump
7 / 10
The component in the Rankine cycle that converts heat into work is:
The turbine expands the high-pressure steam to produce mechanical work.
8 / 10
In an ideal Rankine cycle, the pump work is assumed to be:
The pump compresses the liquid water isentropically, meaning no entropy change occurs.
9 / 10
The primary working fluid in the Rankine cycle is:
Water is used as the working fluid, which is converted to steam to drive the turbine.
10 / 10
The Rankine cycle is primarily used in:
The Rankine cycle is the thermodynamic cycle used in steam power plants to generate electricity.
