William John Macquorn Rankine FRS (5 July 1820 – 24 December 1872) was a Scottish engineer and physicist. He was a founding contributor, with Rudolf Clausius and William Thomson (1st Baron Kelvin), to the science of thermodynamics. Rankine developed a complete theory of the steam engine and indeed of all heat engines. His manuals of engineering science and practice were used for many decades after their publication in the 1850s and 1860s.

  • William John Macquorn Rankine FRS (5 July 1820 – 24 December 1872) was a Scottish engineer and physicist. He was a founding contributor, with Rudolf Clausius and William Thomson (1st Baron Kelvin), to the science of thermodynamics. Rankine developed a complete theory of the steam engine and indeed of all heat engines. His manuals of engineering science and practice were used for many decades after their publication in the 1850s and 1860s. He published several hundred papers and notes on science and engineering topics, from 1840 onwards, and his interests were extremely varied, including, in his youth, botany, music theory and number theory, and, in his mature years, most major branches of science, mathematics and engineering. He was an enthusiastic amateur singer, pianist and cellist who composed his own humorous songs. He was born in Edinburgh and died in Glasgow, a bachelor.

Publikoval několik set prací, věnoval se vědě a technice, jeho zájmy ale v mládí zasahovaly i botaniku, hudební teorii a teorii čísel, ve zralém věku většinu hlavních oborů vědy, matematiky a techniky. Byl nadšeným amatérským zpěvákem, klavíristou a violoncellistou a skládal si vlastní humorné písně.

  • William John Macquorn Rankine, né le 5 juillet 1820 à Édimbourg et mort le 24 décembre 1872 à Glasgow, est un ingénieur et physicien écossais. Avec Rudolf Clausius et William Thomson (1er baron Kelvin), il est l'un des pionniers de la thermodynamique. Rankine élabora une théorie complète de la machine à vapeur, quel que soit le type de moteur. Ses manuels consacrés aux sciences de l'ingénieur et aux applications industrielles firent école pendant plusieurs décennies après leur parution, dans les années 1850 et 1860. À partir de 1840, il publia plusieurs centaines d'articles et de communications sur des questions techniques et scientifiques, manifestant une grande variété de centres d'intérêt, allant de la botanique, la théorie musicale et la théorie des nombres lorsqu'il était jeune, jusqu'aux principales branches de la science, des mathématiques et de l'ingénierie. C'était en outre un chanteur, pianiste et violoncelliste amateur, qui composait lui-même des chansons humoristiques. Il mourut célibataire.
  • Teoria del masso illimitato: Essa riguarda i materiali omogenei e privi di coesione, quali la ghiaia finissima o meglio ancora la sabbia asciutta. La spinta esercitata su di una parete verticale (immaginaria) di un prisma elementare viene ad essere compresa (pena lo scorrimento del prisma e quindi la frana de terreno) entro due valori (uno minimo l'altro massimo) corrispondenti alle possibilità di scorrimento verso il basso e verso l'alto (terreno inclinato rispetto all'orizzontale). Formula di Rankine per il carico di punta: È valida per aste sottili caricate di punta, ad esempio pilastri molto snelli e sopportanti un notevole carico. Il carico critico, compatibile cn l'equilibrio della struttura è P = KA/(1 + cJ2), in cui K è il carico di sicurezza, A l'area della sezione, J il coefficiente di snellezza, c un coefficiente sperimentale. Ciclo Rankine: È uno dei migliori cicli realizzati per macchine a vapore, costituito da una compressione adiabatica ottenuta mediante una pompa per portare il liquido alla stessa pressione della caldaia, da un riscaldamento sino al punto d'ebollizione (in caldaia), da una evaporazione (isobara ed isotermica) da una espansione adiabatica (in cui viene compiuto il lavoro utile) ed infine da una condensazione. Per migliorarne il rendimento il ciclo Rankine è stato modificato introducendo dopo l'evaporazione un surriscaldamento del vapore.
  • ウィリアム・ランキン(William John Macquorn Rankine, 1820年7月5日 - 1872年12月24日)は19世紀イギリス(スコットランド)の物理学者、工学者、技術者。エディンバラ生まれ。グラスゴーで没。父親も技術者であった。 物理学者としては熱力学の分野で業績を残した。長らく主流であった熱素説を否定し、「エネルギー」の用語と概念を導入した。ほぼ同時期のトムソン(ケルヴィン卿)、クラウジウスと並んで、熱力学の基礎を作った人物だと評価されている。温度の単位「蘭氏」(ランキン度)は彼の名前に因む。
