/ˈraŋkɪn/, U.S.

/ˈræŋkən/

Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Rankine.

Etymology: < the name of William John Macquorn Rankine (1820–72), Scottish physicist and engineer. In senses A. 2 and A. 3 in the names of concepts propounded by Rankine or arising from his work.

Physics and Engineering.

A. n. attributive and in the genitive.

1. Rankine's formula n. (also Rankine formula) any of a number of formulae derived by Rankine in his work in various fields; spec. one giving the load under which a supporting column will collapse in terms of the height and cross-section of the column, and quantities determined by the material of which it is made.

a. Rankine cycle n. a thermodynamic cycle which describes the operation of an ideal composite engine worked by steam or other condensable vapour.The four stages of a Rankine cycle are characterized as isentropic compression, heat addition at constant pressure, isentropic expansion, and heat loss at constant pressure.
