Резюме	Finite-Time Thermodynamics (FTT) relaxes the classical assumption that thermodynamic processes occur reversibly (infinitely slowly). Instead, it analyzes real thermal systems operating at finite rates with irreversibilities. FTT reveals fundamental trade-offs: to complete a process quickly requires accepting large irreversibilities and low efficiency, while slow operation achieves high efficiency but requires impractical time and cost.	Exergoeconomic analysis combines thermodynamics and economics by assigning monetary costs to exergy streams. It reveals how thermodynamic irreversibilities translate into economic losses within industrial systems. This approach enables engineers to identify the most economically significant inefficiencies and make informed decisions about component improvements and system optimization.	The Rankine Cycle is the fundamental thermodynamic cycle for steam power plants. It describes how thermal energy from burning fuel or concentrated solar radiation is converted to mechanical work and ultimately electricity. The cycle consists of four processes: isobaric heat addition in the boiler, isentropic expansion through the turbine, isobaric heat rejection in the condenser, and isentropic compression by the pump.
