Question

Transcribed Image Text:A Carnot cycle is a cycle of special interest because:
When it is carefully constructed in a laboratory, it provides an upper limit on
cycle efficiency.

- In the Rankine cycle with a feedwater heater as shown in the figure, the condensing temperature T1 is 25oC. The superheat temperature T3 is 370oC and the vaporization pressure P3 is 32 bar. Enough steam is bled from Turbine 1 at 7 bar (P2’) to heat the feedwater 2’ to a saturated liquid 2’’. Determine the thermal efficiency of this reversible cycle and compare it to a Carnot cycle operating between the same two temperature extremes. Show the cycle in a T-s diagram. Also compute the net work output per kilogram of steam.arrow_forwardPYQ Chemical EngineeringA heat exchanger uses 5000 kg/hr of water to cool hydrocarbon oil from 140oC to 65oC. The oil, flowing at the rate of 2500 kg/hr has an average specific heat of 0.6 kcal/kg.oC. The water enters at 20oC. Determine The entropy change of the oil Entropy change of water The total entropy change as a result of this heat exchange process.arrow_forwardPlease answer in detailed solution.
