The Rankine cycle is a thermodynamic cycle used in steam power plants to convert heat energy into mechanical work, which is then converted into electrical energy. It consists of four stages: isentropic compression (pump), isobaric heat addition (boiler), isentropic expansion (turbine), and isobaric heat rejection (condenser). It is significant because it is the basic cycle underlying most steam-based power generation systems.
