Steam Rankine cycle is known as one of the main power-generating cycles, which consists of four key devices, namely a boiler (heat exchanger), a steam turbine, a condenser (heat exchanger), and a pump, as illustrated in Fig. 28. This cycle needs heat input for the boiler either by burning fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, or by
