draw rankine cycle on P-V and T-S diagram

Question

Accepted Answer

The Rankine cycle is a thermodynamic cycle used in power plants to generate electricity.

The Rankine cycle consists of four main components: a pump, a boiler, a turbine, and a condenser.
On a P-V diagram, the cycle starts at point 1 with the pump, where the working fluid is compressed to a high pressure.
From point 1 to point 2, the fluid is heated in the boiler, resulting in a phase change from liquid to vapor.
The vapor then enters the turbine at point 2 and expands, doing work and generating power.
After exiting the turbine at point 3, the vapor is condensed back into a liquid in the condenser.
Finally, the liquid is pumped back to the boiler to complete the cycle.
On a T-S diagram, the cycle appears as a clockwise loop, with the heat addition and rejection processes represented as vertical lines.
The area enclosed by the cycle on the T-S diagram represents the net work output of the cycle.
