-increase the temperature of the super heated steam -lowering the condensing pressure -increasing the boiler pressure (Reheating, regeneration...)
Rankine cycle is original cycle... where Carnot is hypothetical one...in this process we use compressere insted of pump which shows that the condensation process is not fully completed. ref:engineering thermodynamics autor:p.k.nag tata macgraw hill publication
modified rankine cycle basically same as rankine cycle but main difference is inisentropic expansion process.we are nt expanding the styeam completely.steam is expanded up to certain level and after that it dumped in condenser due to high vacuum in condenser.the work losses by restricting the expansion of steam is very less which can be neglected.so that the stroke length of cylinder is reduced and the capitalcost of engine also reduced.engine performance is also good

-increase the temperature of the super heated steam -lowering the condensing pressure -increasing the boiler pressure (Reheating, regeneration...)
there is more heat loss..
Brayton cycle: It is open cycle. Rankine cycle: It's close cycle. Brayton cycle: Mostly used in gas turbine engine. Rankine cycle: Mostly used in power generation plant. Brayton cycle: Resemble less to Carnot cycle. Rankine cycle: Resemble is more to Carnot cycle.
carnot cycle is a very ideal cycle that isn't practical at all , 'cause we add and reject heat isothermally , a wet mixture enters the turbine so it'll cause pitting and erosion and a wet mixture enters the pump , and the pump can't deal with a 2 phases fluid rankine cycle is a practical cycle but with a very low efficiency so the main difference lies in the adding and rejecting of heat
Among other advantages, this pervents the vapor from condensing during its expansion which can seriusly damage he turbine blades, and improves he efficiency of the cycle, as more of the heat flow into the cycle occurs at higher temperature.
The Rankine cycle is the fundamental thermodynamic underpinning of the Steam_engine. It is named after William_John_Macquorn_Rankine
Rankine cycle is used in steam turbine
by increasing the turbine inlet gas temperature
The efficiency will decrease.Remeber the formula for effiency for a cycle:What we want over what we pay for. So,ηT=WT/QAWhereWT = Work done by the turbineQA = Heat taken from the hot reservoir
Inefficiencies in the compressor of a gas turbine cycle increase the back-work ratio and decrease the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine cycle, since they increase the compressor work.
The four major components of the rankine cycle are as follows: 1. boiler 2. turbine 3. condenser 4. pump i.e. in short (B-T-C-P)
The Carnot cycle gives the theoretical maximum efficiency of an engine operating between two heat reservoirs. The Carnot cycle is an idealized engine cycle that is thermodynamically reversible. Real systems such as power plants are not reversible, and the entropy of a real material changes with temperature (which is not accounted for by the Carnot cycle). A steam power plant operates closer to a cycle known as the Rankine cycle.
