    The document describes the Rankine cycle used in steam turbine systems. It contains a block diagram of the Rankine cycle showing its key components: a boiler that converts water to steam, a turbine driven by the steam, a condenser that cools the steam back to liquid water, and a pump that pressurizes and returns the water to the boiler. The document also lists the four processes that make up the Rankine cycle: pumping, heating, expansion, and cooling. Finally, it distinguishes the Rankine cycle from a refrigeration cycle, noting that the Rankine cycle converts heat to work during phase change while a refrigeration cycle transfers heat from one location to another.

    ASSIGNMENT NO. 1(PPS PRELIM)

    RANKINE CYCLE

    BLOCK DIAGRAM OF RANKINE CYCLE:


    FUNCTIONS OF COMPONENTS:

    BOILER – Converts water to superheated steam.

    TURBINE – Driven by steam, it is used to power the generator.

    CONDENSER – After leaving the turbine, the steam enters to the condenser and change its state from
    steam to liquid by cooling.

    PUMP – Pressurized and pumps the water back to the boiler. And the cycle continues.

    PROCESSES OF RANKINE CYCLE:

    1-2: Isentropic compression in a pump.

    2-3: Constant pressure heat addition in a boiler.

    3-4: Isentropic expansion in a turbine.

    4-1: Constant pressure heat rejection in a condenser.

    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STEAM ENGINE RANKINE CYCLE AND REFRIGERATION CYCLE:

    The Rankine cycle is a model used to predict the performance of steam turbine systems. It was also used
    to study the performance of reciprocating steam engines. The Rankine cycle is an idealized
    thermodynamic cycle of a heat engine that converts heat into mechanical work while undergoing phase
    change. While on the other hand, refrigeration cycles are the conceptual and mathematical models for
    heat pump, air conditioning and refrigeration systems. A heat pump is a mechanical system that allows
    for the transmission of heat from one location at a lower temperature to another location at a higher
    temperature.
