The discussion focuses on enhancing the basic Rankine cycle's efficiency through practical improvements. Key suggestions include implementing reheat, lowering condenser pressure, and integrating a high-temperature condenser, all of which help in reusing waste heat and reducing fuel consumption. The benefits of these changes include increased efficiency and more available heat for work, as indicated in the T-s diagram. The T-s diagram visually represents these improvements and their impact on the cycle's performance. Understanding these concepts is crucial for optimizing the Rankine cycle in engineering applications.

A)Draw a schematic of the basic rankine cycle and its equipment
B) ddiscuss any three practical improvements to make the basic rankine cycle more efficient, hightlighting the benefit that is thus realized.
C) draw a T-s diagram of the improvements

i got answer to the part A.
i got one answer to the part B. i know that reheat, lower the condenser pressure, integrity condenser to high temp, but i don't to the benefit of this change or is there more change that would make better rankine cycle

also i don't know the t-s diagram of the improvements rankine cycle

please help me
thank you

Look up the Standard Handbook of Plant Engineers.
Reheat etc improves efficiency by reusing some of the waste heat, ie: condensate returns to feed tank, warming feed water less fuel needed to boil water. Basically they lower the amount of unavailable heat, more of it is available for work.
And that is shown by the T-s diagram ( Temperature-entropy).
 
What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
