What is a Binary Vapour Cycle?

Answer 1

A binary vapour cycle is a representation of a Mercury cycle and a steam cycle on a same scale.In this vapour cycle there is comparison between the mercury cycle and steam cycle.

In mercury cycle there occurs isothermal expansion of saturated water from boiler into dry saturated steam followed by isentropic expansion followed by condensation of steam and at last heating of steam and thus mercury has completed the cycle in 4 way process.

In steam cycle first ther is isothermal expansion which results in converting of saturated water into dry saturated steam followed by superheated process where the steam is superheated followed by isentropic expansion of superheated steam followed by condensation of exhaust steam and at last heating of steam thus completing the cycle.

Answer 2

A Binary Vapour Cycle is a type of power generation cycle used in geothermal power plants. It involves using a secondary working fluid with a lower boiling point than water to extract additional energy from the geothermal source. This allows for more efficient energy generation compared to traditional single fluid systems.
