Vapor Cycle: Working Medium Is A Fluid Substance Capable of Absorbing and Discharging Heat Energy

The document discusses the closed Rankine vapor cycle, which uses steam as a working medium. It goes through the basic components and processes of a vapor cycle, including expansion in a prime mover, condensation in a condenser, and use of a working fluid like steam. Auxiliary equipment is often added for economic reasons. The cycle aims to efficiently convert heat into work via phase changes of the working fluid.
