Thermodynamics Project Submission date: 11/30/2015

Design a vapor power cycle (Rankine cycle) in order to obtain the highest thermal efficiency. The inlet of turbine should be superheat vapor with the exit quality of 95 % and the inlet of pump is always saturated liquid. Draw the P-V and T-S diagram for the cycle. Indicate the limitations in your design. Sample calculations are required.
