This one is a practical cycle of steam engine and

It is a theoretical cycle. It gives maximum turbine.

differences. cycle.
Carnot cycle uses air as the working substance. Rankine cycle uses water as working substance.

Carnot cycle is ideal cycle for heat engine. It is ideal cycle for vapor power engine.
