Rankine cycle

Question 1

What are the stages of the rankine cycle?

Answer 1

1:Isobaric heat transfer:

Question 2

Explain vapour quality in a rankine cycle and how is it calculated

Answer 2

Vapour quality is the proportion of vapour that is dry to vapour that is wet. The symbol is X.

This is calculated by

X = (total enthalpy - fluid enthalpy)

Latent heat of vapourisation

X= (h-h_f) /h_fg
