Module 3 - Rankine Cycle

The document discusses the Rankine cycle, an ideal thermodynamic cycle involving two constant pressure and two constant entropy processes. It highlights the efficiency of the cycle, the concept of regenerative cycles, and binary vapor cycles, mentioning suitable fluids like mercury for high-temperature applications. Additionally, it outlines topping and bottoming cycles using various substances such as sodium and ammonia.
