I need to design a power plant to supply electricity. I am given the highest temperature 1000 degree F and the lowest temperature of 80 degree F. I am also given the choice of two cycles: Rankine and Carnot. Which of these two cycles will you select in your design and. Give all the possible reasons.

Solution

If given choise between rankine and carnot, always go for carnot as it is more efficient than rankine.

when efficieny is more we will get more work output in form of electricity in carnot as compared to rankine.
