A vapor power plant differs from a gas power plant in that, it\u2019s working fluid may undergo a phase change during the working of the plant. Like in any other power cycle, the working fluid (steam/water) in a steam power plant undergoes four basic operations in a cyclic manner. For each operation in a vapor power plant, we can think of a hypothetical or ideal process, which represents the basic intended operation. Since these operations are cyclic, the idealized processes representing these operations form an ideal cycle. That is known as vapor power cycle.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
