Rankine Cycle: Steam Power Plant Simulator

Watch the four-step steady-flow cycle that turns heat into electricity inside coal, gas and nuclear steam plants: a boiler vaporizes pressurized water, a turbine extracts work as the vapor expands, a condenser rejects the leftover heat and turns it back to liquid, and a pump raises the liquid's pressure to close the loop. Steam particles flow around a 3D loop through all four stages while the boiler and condenser pressures, turbine isentropic efficiency and flow speed are all adjustable, with saturation properties looked up from real steam-table data driving live thermal efficiency, net specific work, heat input and turbine-exit steam quality.
