Rankine

Example:The temperature chart uses the Rankine scale to display thermodynamic temperatures.

Definition:A temperature scale where temperatures are expressed in Rankine degrees

Example:The thermodynamic temperature of the system was measured in Rankine.

Definition:A temperature measurement on a scale based on the absolute thermodynamic temperature, measured in Kelvin or Rankine

Example:The power plant uses the Rankine cycle to generate electricity from steam.

Definition:A thermodynamic cycle commonly used for generating power in steam turbines

Example:Engineers refer to the Rankine steam tables to solve thermodynamic problems.

Definition:Tables and charts used in thermodynamics to find properties of saturated steam at various temperatures and pressures

Example:The Rankine engine was used in early steam locomotives.

Definition:An engine that operates on the Rankine cycle, using steam or other liquid as the working fluid
