Conclusion
This study provides important insight on the parameter of the rankine cycle. In this project, the pressure and temperature are the most important aspect of the study since the pressure is the independent variable and temperature is determined by the pressure. Pressure and temperature was varied among all four system. From the result, the closed feedwater heater has the lowest efficiency making it undesirable. The high/low pressure turbine has the highest efficiency and is the only system that actually met the power requirement. As a result, the high/low pressure turbine cycle is more realistic to be designed as a real cycle and still more efficient than other three cycles.
