Answer / krishna kanth

The pound-force (symbol: lbF, from Latin libra ‘pound’ and
the symbol for force) is a unit of force in FPS System. It
is equivalent to 4.44822162 newtons. In most contexts, the
shorter name "pound" is used, but this can introduce
confusion with the mass unit of the same name.
The unit of Force in CGS System is dyne. 1 dyn = 10e-5 N.

In Rankine Cycle we use the concept of Tm(mean temperature of heat addition).In actual cycle the efficiency comes as n=1-T2/T1 Taking Tm into consideration it comes as n=1-T2/Tm as T1>Tm so the efficiency for both case will not same for a same cycle. Can anybody explain how it is possible? Advance appreciation for your effort.Thanks
