What are some resources for understanding thermodynamic cycles?

[Mugwump101]

I'm taking chemical engineering thermodynamics right now and I'm a little confused about Carnot and Rankin Cycles and some other stuff. I was wondering what are some good resources like books, video lectures, online notes, etc... that help explain the formulas and how they're derived and just for self learning?

Thanks!

I would also be interested in something like this. Thanks!

more mechanical engineering oriented, but it has the Rankine cycle.
