The
recommended cycle for a steam power plant is
Brayton cycle
Rankine cycle
Carnot cycle
Otto cycle
Rankine cycle
The
recommended cycle for a steam power plant is Rankine Cycle. The Rankine cycle
or Rankine Vapour Cycle is the process widely used by power plants such as
coal-fired power plants or nuclear reactors. In this mechanism, a fuel is used
to produce heat within a boiler, converting water into steam which then expands
through a turbine producing useful work.
Hence, the correct option is (B).
&Key Points:-
The thermal
efficiency of a Rankine cycle is not as high as a Carnot cycle but the cycle
has less practical difficulties and is found to be more economical.
Thermodynamically,
it is true that no heat engine can be more efficient than a reversible heat
engine working between two fixed temperature limits.
