Rankine Cycle Efficiency Calculator

Calculate Rankine cycle thermal efficiency η = (W_turbine - W_pump)/Q_boiler using steam tables. Superheating, reheating, and regenerative feedwater heating improvements. Back pressure and condensing turbine comparison.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.

How It Works

Calculate Rankine cycle thermal efficiency η = (W_turbine - W_pump)/Q_boiler using steam tables. Superheating, reheating, and regenerative feedwater heating improvements. Back pressure and condensing turbine comparison

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Steam tables — The steam tables recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the rankine cycle result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the steam tables for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate Rankine cycle thermal efficiency η = (W_turbine - W_pump)/Q_boiler using steam tables. Superheating, reheating, and regenerative feedwater heating improvements. Back pressure and condensing turbine comparison. Use the rankine cycle result to inform your clinical assessment.
