I'm taking an online course that covers the Rankine power cycle, that, unfortunately, isn't mentioned in any of my textbooks. Do you guys have a textbook that covers this cycle?

Thanks

Have you read over the Wikipedia article on the Rankine Cycle? It looks to be a pretty good introduction...

You could also look through the References at the end of the article to see if they help. :smile:
