Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) are systems that can effectively recover low-grade heat for electric power generation. For ORC to be a viable technology, it should operate safely and efficiently under variable operating conditions due to exogenous and operating specifications changes.

The Rankine cycle, also called the Rankine vapor cycle, is a thermodynamic cycle that converts heat into mechanical energy. The Rankine cycle is name after William Johnson Macquorn Rankine, a 19th century Scottish engineer and physicist known for his research in the thermodynamic properties of steam.

Answer: Rankine cycle consists of two isobaric and two isentropic processes. The major components of the Rankine cycle are a rotating steam turbine, a stationary condenser, a boiler pump, and a boiler. The cycle commences when a fluid like water is compressed and put under high pressure.
