The _______ is the part of the Rankine cycle where heat is added.

The ___________ is the part of the Rankine cycle where heat is removed.

Which of these would not increase the efficiency of the Rankine cycle?

• Increasing the boiler temperature

• Increasing the boiler pressure

• Increasing the condenser pressure
