+The **Rankine Cycle** is a fundamental [heat engine](/wiki/heat_engine) that describes how steam power plants convert heat into mechanical work. It models the processes of a working fluid undergoing phase changes—evaporation, expansion through a [turbine](/wiki/turbine), condensation, and pumping—to generate electricity. This elegant thermodynamic cycle underpins much of the world's power generation.
