In this chapter power plants will be analyzed. Power plants use what is traditionally called a vapor Rankine cycle. The term vapor is used to indicate that the working fluid, water, undergoes phase changes between liquid and gas phases. Phase change allows us to transfer large amounts of heat to or from the water. In Chap. 9, power cycles that use a gas as the working fluid will be considered. The equations and properties of the previous chapters will be utilized, so very few additional equations and quantities will be required. Basically, what has already been presented will be applied to the vapor cycle, which was briefly presented in Section 4.4.1, that produces power.
