Abstract
For most thermal power plant, the Carnot cycle efficiency is not the true ideal. Matching the cycle to the source leads to alternative limits and improved perceptions of how practical power plant can be improved. A method of including the work ratio into an ideal cycle analysis is presented which simplifies the estimation of practical power plant efficiencies and highlights the historic course of thermal efficiency improvement.
