The Reheat Rankine Cycle
A Reheat Rankine Cycle is a Superheat Rankine Cycle that uses two turbines to make it possible to operate the condenser at a low pressure and still maintain a very high quality at the turbine effluent.
Boiler - heat added at constant pressure.
Process 1-2:High-Pressure Turbine (HP) - isentropic expansion.
Process 2-3:Boiler - heat added at constant pressure.
Process 3-4:Low-Pressure Turbine (LP) - isentropic expansion.
Process 4-5:Condenser - heat rejected at constant pressure.
Process 5-6:Pump - isentropic compression.
Process 6-1:
