Carnot cycle is the best (most efficient) cycle operating between specified
TH and TL.
Can we realize Carnot vapor cycle using steam as the working fluid ?

All 4 devices used in Rankine cycle (pump, boiler, turbine, and condenser)
are steady-flow devices. 1st Law of thermodynamics : q-w=he-hi
Pump :
(q=0)
wpump,in = h2 - h1 = v(P2 - P1)
Boiler :
(w=0)
qin = h3 - h2
Turbine : (q=0)
wturb,out = h3 - h4
Condenser : (w=0)
qout = h4 - h1
Net work output :
wnet =wwnetturb,out -qw
