Cogeneration of Electricity and Steam | Rankine Cycle | Thermodynamics

In this article we will discuss about the cogeneration of electricity and steam in a power plant. Introduction to Cogeneration: Cogeneration is the simultaneous generation of electricity and steam (or heat) in a single power plant. It has long been used by certain industries which need large quantities of steam or heating as well as electrical power. Ex­amples are cement [...]

Lecture Notes on Rankine Cycle Improvements | Thermodynamics

Compilation of lecture notes on ‘Improved Rankine Cycles’ in thermodynamics for engineering students. Lecture Note # 1. Carnot and Rankine Cycle: Carnot cycle is the most efficient thermodynamic cycle for all the heat engines utilising the heat energy and producing mechanical energy. We have also observed that there are limitations for the use of this cycle in practice. The ideal [...]
