Examination of Combustion Processes Using a Rankine Cycler

“…quite extensively. [2][3][4] The focus of this lab is to provide students the opportunity to apply several of the topics covered in the Thermodynamics classes to an actual power producing system. These topics include: 1) Plotting a T-S curve for a cycle 2) Calculating the isentropic and second law efficiency of a steam turbine 3) Calculating the 1 st law efficiency of a power plant.…”
