Ideal Rankine Cycle Pv Diagram. Actual vapor power cycle. Constant pressure heat rejection in a condenser.
Isentropic compression in a pump. The practical rankine cycle is shown as 1 2 3 4 1. A carnot cycle using steam as a working substance is represented or p v and t s diagram as shown in the figure.
The rankine cycle is a modified form of carnot cycle in which the isothermal compression 3 4 is continued unit the steam is condensed into water.
The rankine cycle is often plotted on a pressure volume diagram pv diagram and on a temperature entropy diagram ts diagram. The rankine cycle is often plotted on a pressure volume diagram pv diagram and on a temperature entropy diagram ts. This cycle is shown on p v. A carnot cycle using steam as a working substance is represented or p v and t s diagram as shown in the figure.
