Correlate the following statements
i. the volume of water into which steam is condensed in condenser is very much smaller than the volume of steam before condensation
ii. the net work of a Rankine cycle is heat supplied in boiler - heat rejected to condenser - pump work

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

i. The volume of steam significantly decreases when it is condensed into water, which is a basic principle of thermodynamics related to phase change. ii. The net work output of a Rankine cycle is indeed the difference between the heat supplied in the boiler and the heat rejected in the condenser, minus the work required to operate the pump. These statements are correct but are independent concepts within the context of thermodynamics and the Rankine cycle.
