A power cycle has been developed that is claimed to extract 313kJ of heat from a hot reservoir at 500°C, before converting it to 192.298kJ of work, and then rejecting 120.702kJ of heat to the ambient environment which is at 25°C. 2.1. Dose the power cycle violate the first law of thermodynamics? 2.2. Dose the cycle violate the second law of thermodynamics? 2.3. Determine the increase in entropy experienced by both the hot and cold reservoirs as well as the system as a whole.

1. Water and air are used as working fluids in a counter-flow heat exchanger operating at steady state. Water enters as a saturated vapor at 300 kPa with a mass flow rate of 10 kg/s and exiting as saturated liquid. Air enters in a separate stream at 0°C, 100 kPa and exits at 37°C. Pressure changes and the heat transfer between the heat exchanger and its surroundings are negligible. Determine the rate of exergy destruction in the heat exchanger.

A steam turbine is supplied with steam at 20.6 bar and 399°C. After the steam has expanded to 4.04 bar, it is reheated to 315.5°C and then expands down to a pressure of 0.065 bar. The efficiency of each expansion may take as 75%. 1. Determine the thermal efficiency, in percentile (%), of the cycle. 2. Determine the mass of steam required in kg per kW·hr.
A steady-state system for producing power consist of a pump, heat exchanger and a turbine. Water at 1.0 bar and 20°C (state 1) enters the adiabatic pump and leaves at 10 bar (state 2). The pump draws 110 kW of power, and the mass flow rate of water is 45 kg/s. The water leaving the pump enters a heat exchanger and heated at constant pressure to 400°C (state 3) using exhaust gases (Cp of gases = 1.1 kJ/kgK) that enters at 500°C and exits at 182°C. The steam is adiabatically expanded in a turbine having an isentropic efficiency of 0.71. The turbine exhausts (state 4) to the surroundings at 1.0 bar. What is thermal efficiency of this power production process? If the pump and turbine are reversible, would the efficiency of this system equal the maximum possible efficiency? (Answer Yes or NO and provide a short explanation.)
