본 논문에서는 열전달을 포함한 사이클 해석의 좀 더 실제적인 경우로서, 주어진 연소가스로부터 랜킨사이클을 사용하여 동력을 추출할 때 최대의 출력을 추출하기 위한 사이클의 운전조건을 고찰하고, 대표적인 랜킨 사이클에 대하여 여러가지 운전조건에 따른 출력등을 계산하여, 그 결과를 고찰하였다.
A Rankine cycle including heat exchange processes in the steam generator has been analyzed by the concept of available energy. The operation condition of the cycle can be expressed with the evaporation temperature, and there exists an optimum power condition at which the thermal efficiency of the cycle is almost the same as that of the Carnot cycle at the maximum power condition. The mass flow rate of the working fluid increases sharply as the evaporation temperature approaches to the critical point, and the regenerative system is needed to operate the cycle at the maximum power condition.
