% Simple Rankine Cycle from turbine pressures
This models the most basic Rankine Cycle. The steam tables need to

Type RankineCycle for a demo from the reference.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
[power,eff] = RankineCycle(p3,p4)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
p3 (1,1) Pressure at the turbine inlet (MPa)
p4 (1,1) Pressure at the turbine outlet (MPa)
doPlot (1,1) Create plot even if outputs are requested
-------
Outputs
-------
eff (1,1) Cycle efficiency
t (1,4) Cycle temperatures
