Thermodynamic cycle that can reuse latent heat of condensation
I'm developing a thermodynamic cycle that transfers existing heat to generate steam. The heat transfer includes reusing the latent heat of condensation harvested at the condenser to heat the working fluid. Normally, this is not possible because the condenser is not the hottest point in the cycle...- haruosan

How to calculate the efficiency of a heat engine that is able to reuse latent heat of condensatiion
In a Rankine Cycle, the latent heat of condensation cannot be redirected back into the cycle itself because the condensation process is not the hottest point in the cycle. In an Organic Rankine Cycle the waste heat is redirected to some external process that is able to generate electricity. If...- haruosan
