What Are High and Low Turbine Stages in a Regenerative Rankine Cycle?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on understanding high and low turbine stages in a regenerative Rankine cycle, specifically the confusion surrounding their occurrence at different states. Participants seek clarification on whether the high turbine stage occurs at state 2 and the low turbine stage at states 3, 4, and 5. The importance of T-s diagrams and their role in illustrating turbine efficiencies is emphasized, with references to external resources for better understanding. Efficiencies are noted to apply across the entire turbine, with vertical lines on the T-s diagram representing ideal conditions. Overall, the conversation aims to clarify the operational stages and efficiencies within the regenerative Rankine cycle.

In this cycle/ schematics I'm a bit confused what are the high turbine stage low turbine stage. Does high turbine occur in state 2? and low on state 345? I am still having difficulties in determining what state is the high turbine or low turbine stage occur please enlighten me I'm just new to the topic

What do you mean by "occur in state 2 and state 345"?
Could you show a picture of the thermo cycle linked to this system?

here is the t-s diagram i was just confused what does this efficiency means on the turbine
Has the linked article clarified that confusion?
Could you please improve the picture to include the left side of the text?
Thank you.
 
Efficiencies are applied throughout the entire turbine, i.e. either 1-2' or 3-5'. On the T-s diagram, the vertical lines represent the ideal case (efficiency = 100%).
