Difference between Boiler (power generation) and Rankine cycle

Boiler (power generation) vs. Rankine cycle

A boiler or steam generator is a device used to create steam by applying heat energy to water. The Rankine cycle is a model used to predict the performance of steam turbine systems.

Similarities between Boiler (power generation) and Rankine cycle

Boiler (power generation) and Rankine cycle have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Boiler, Coal, Condensation, Fuel oil, Gas turbine, Heat, Natural gas, Steam, Supercritical fluid, Turbine.

Boiler

A boiler is a closed vessel in which fluid (generally water) is heated.

Condensation

Condensation is the change of the physical state of matter from gas phase into liquid phase, and is the reverse of vapourisation.

Natural gas

Natural gas is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas mixture consisting primarily of methane, but commonly including varying amounts of other higher alkanes, and sometimes a small percentage of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, or helium.

Supercritical fluid

A supercritical fluid (SCF) is any substance at a temperature and pressure above its critical point, where distinct liquid and gas phases do not exist.

Turbine

A turbine (from the Latin turbo, a vortex, related to the Greek τύρβη, tyrbē, meaning "turbulence") is a rotary mechanical device that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work.
