In this lecture, we discuss the Rankine cycle which is the thermodynamic cycle on which a simple steam power plant works. We discuss the need for Rankine cycle based on the practical challenges in implementing a Carnot cycle with water as the working substance. We also discuss the Ranking cycle with superheating. Finally, we discuss how to calculate the work output and efficiency of the Rankine cycle. (c) Supreet Singh Bahga, IIT Delhi
