I'd recommend you get a book on Materials and on Static forces. Engineering Materials 1 & 2 by Ashby & Jones might be a good start as well as Engineering Mechanics: Statics.

The Carnot cycle is not practicable, but it is optimal and ideal. Rankine cycle is practicable.

Diagrams in my notes tend to all show steam being bled from the L.P turbines at the end - they don't explain why this is, unfortunately. Easy answer, it probably doesn't matter. You're taking x amount of heat out of the cycle at the turbine stage, and putting it back into the feed heaters...
