Transcritical cycle, a Common card
A transcritical cycle is a closed thermodynamic cycle where the working fluid goes through both subcritical and supercritical states.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In particular, for power cycles the working fluid is kept in the liquid region during the compression phase and in vapour and/or supercritical conditions during the expansion phase.
- The ultrasupercritical steam Rankine cycle represents a widespread transcritical cycle in the electricity generation field from fossil fuels, where water is used as working fluid.
- Other typical applications of transcritical cycles to the purpose of power generation are represented by organic Rankine cycles, which are especially suitable to exploit low temperature heat sources, such as geothermal energy, heat recovery applications or waste to energy plants.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Transcritical cycle article was read about 4,500 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 67 and blocks with 56: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
How to get Transcritical cycle
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
