Simple Rankine Cycle

Cool prop conventions: = Props(Output ID, Input #1 ID,

Input #1 Value, Input #2 ID, Input #2 Value, Fluid ID).
Valid ID's are "D" for density, "P" for pressure, "T" for
temperature, "Q" for quality, "S" for entropy, "H" for
enthalpy and "U" for internal energy. These inputs
ARE case-sensitive. A "-1" returned for Quality means
that the fluid is subcooled or superheated (not
saturated).
