NPSH means the net positive suction head.There are two
types of NPSH - NPSH available & NPSH required.

NPSH available = suction pressure + suction static head -
pressure drop in suction piping & fittings - vapour
pressure drop- presssure drop in section strainer.

NPSH required - NPSH specified by the pump supplied which
shall be atleast less than NPSH available by difference of

In Rankine Cycle we use the concept of Tm(mean temperature of heat addition).In actual cycle the efficiency comes as n=1-T2/T1 Taking Tm into consideration it comes as n=1-T2/Tm as T1>Tm so the efficiency for both case will not same for a same cycle. Can anybody explain how it is possible? Advance appreciation for your effort.Thanks
