The basic steam cycle for a steam turbine installation is called a Rankine cycle (named after Scottish engineer and physicist William John Macquorn Rankine). This cycle consists of a compression of liquid water, heating and evaporation in the heat source (a steam boiler or nuclear reactor), expansion of the...

William Rankine was the first to propose the first law of thermodynamics explicitly, in 1853 (he was famous for his work on steam engines). The law was already implicit in the work of other, earlier, thermodynamicists, such as Kelvin, Helmholtz and Clausius. None of these scientists sought to prove their theories experimentally only Joule published experimental proof of the first law.

This term was first proposed in 1853 by the Scottish engineer William Rankine (1820-1872). In the SI system of units with mass in kg, elevation in m, and the acceleration of gravity in m s-2, potential energy has the units of kg m2 s-2. This is the newton-meter or joule, the unit of work, in agreement with Eq. (1.6).
