A steam power stations basically work on the______________?
Correct answer: B. Rankin cycle
- A. thermodynamic cycle
- B. Rankin cycle
- C. Vapor pressure cycle
- D. Carton cycle
Explanation
Steam power stations operate on the Rankine cycle, in which water is pumped, heated into steam, expanded through a turbine, and then condensed. The Carnot cycle is an ideal benchmark rather than the practical cycle used in steam stations.
