ASJDBNLAHBADJBSFJDB Answer in kJ/kg Suppose that a power plant operates on a Carnot vapor cycle and uses water as the working substance. Saturated liquid water enters the boiler at a pressure of 10 MPa and leaves as saturated water vapor. Then it enters the steam turbine and leaves as saturated mixture at 20 kPa. Determine the heat added to the working substance in the boiler.
Find the entropy production and determine if the cycle operates irreverisbly, reverisbly, or impossibly. A refrigeration cycle operates between the freezer compartment at 268K and the ambient air at 295K. The rate of heat transfer from the freezer compartment is 8000 kJ/h and the power input for the cycle is 3200 kJ/h. Determine the entropy production for this cycle in kJ/K·h (do not convert h to s). Enter the answer without units, but with a minus sign if applicable. This cycle operates irreversibly reversibly impossibly.

3. In a gas turbine plant air is compressed from 1.01 bar and 15 °C through a pressure ratio of 5. It is then heated in a combustion chamber at constant pressure to a temperature of 700 °C and expanded to atmospheric pressure in a turbine. The isentropic efficiencies of compression and expansion are respectively 0.8 and 0.85. Calculate (a) the cycle efficiency and (b) the work ratio. Assume that the properties of air do not change with temperature and may be taken as Cp = 1.005 kJ/kg K and y = 1.4.

A certain factory has an average electrical load of 1500 kW and requires 3.5 MJ/s for heating purposes. It is proposed to install a single-extraction passout steam turbine to operate under the following conditions: Initial pressure 15 bar. Initial temperature 300°C. Condenser pressure 0.1 bar. Steam is extracted between the two turbine sections at 3 bar, 0.96 dry, and is isobarically cooled without subcooling in heaters to supply the heating load. The internal efficiency of the turbine (in the LP Section) is 0.80 and the efficiency of the boiler is 0.85 when using oil of calorific value 44 MJ/kg. If 10% of boiler steam is used for auxiliaries calculate the oil consumption per day. Assume that the condensate from the heaters (at 3 bar) and that from the con- denser (at 0.1 bar) mix freely in a separate vessel (hot well) before being pumped to the boiler. Neglect extraneous losses.
Q5/ For a steam power plant, the turbine operates isentropically and adiabatically with inlet steam at 6800 kPa and 550 °C and the exhaust steam enters the condenser at 50 °C. Saturated liquid water leaves the condenser, and is pumped to the boiler. Neglecting pump work and kinetic and potential energy changes, determine the thermal efficiency of the cycle?
