- volume of the cylinder which would be required to accommodate the rapidly expanding steam at the lower pressures is not really justified when considering the small extra amount of work which is made available. The extra work is given by the area ABC on the P-V diagram. The cycle with early release is called the modified Rankine cycle. EXAMPLE 89 Steam is supplied from a boiler to a steam engine at a pressure of 1-1 MN/m2 and at a temperature of 250°C. It is expanded isentropically to a release pressure of 0-28 MN/m2.
