Describe the isentropic efficiency of a compressor is defined as the ratio of the work input required to raise the pressure of a gas to a specified value in an isentropic manner to the actual work

2 kg of Refrigerant-134a contained in a piston-cylinder device undergoes a reversed Carnot cycle. Some important information about the cycle is: ● At the beginning of the adiabatic compression (State 1), the refrigerant is a saturated vapor. ● The adiabatic compression ends when the temperature of the refrigerant is 30 degrees C● The refrigerant is 50% vapor by mass at the end of the isothermal heat rejection process. ● The adiabatic expansion process ends when the pressure of the refrigerant is 132.82kPaConsulting example 7-6 in your text might be helpful in understanding some aspects of this problem. a) Represent this cycle on a T-S diagram. On your diagram, clearly indicate the values of the specific entropy and temperature at every state. b) Explain (briefly) why the process curves take the shapes you indicated on your T-S diagram in part a.

A four-stroke turbocharged V-16 diesel engine built by a car manufacturer company to power fast trains produces mechanical 3500 hp (2.609 MW) at 1200 rev/min. Determine the amount of work produced in kJ (a) per cylinder per mechanical cycle and (b) per cylinder per thermodynamic cycle.
