Your colleague at the power plant station initiated a mutual discussion, where he suggested applying the Carnot cycle since it is considered the optimal cycle that steam power plant may be operated on. You were in a position to justify him why there many difficulties and impracticalities associated with the Carnot cycle in terms of the steam power plant, deliver a brief report explain why the Rankine cycle is preferred over the Carnot cycle in steam production plants, mention all impracticalities associated with applying Carnot cycle including the limitation of boiler and condenser temperature and pressure with respect to the surrounding saturation conditions (you may construct TS diagrams for both cycles to demonstrate your comparison).
