Lecture Notes on Rankine Cycle Improvements | Thermodynamics

Compilation of lecture notes on ‘Improved Rankine Cycles’ in thermodynamics for engineering students. Lecture Note # 1. Carnot and Rankine Cycle: Carnot cycle is the most efficient thermodynamic cycle for all the heat engines utilising the heat energy and producing mechanical energy. We have also observed that there are limitations for the use of this cycle in practice. The ideal [...]
