Utilizing the Steam Rankine Cycle for Industrial Decarbonization
A Rankine cycle is a thermodynamic cycle that converts thermal energy into mechanical work by the constant evaporation and condensation of a circulating working fluid, which is water for the case of a Steam Rankine Cycle. In this application, the cycle is composed of four main components, boiler (evaporator), expansion device (turbine), condenser, and the feed-pump.
