H.W2: An air-standard Carnot cycle is executed in a closed system between the temperature limits of 350 and 1200 K. The pressures before and after the isothermal compression are 150 and 300 kPa, respectively. If the net work output per cycle is 0.5 kJ, determine (a) the maximum pressure in the cycle, (b) the heat transfer to air, and (c) the mass of air. Assume variable specific heats for air. Answers: (a) 30,013 kPa, (b) 0.706 kJ, (c) 0.00296 kg

T B A D Consider the cycle in the diagram (very similar to the Rankine Cycle) using water as the working fluid. Process A-B: A saturated mixture of water is pumped from low pressure to a high pressure saturated liquid in an iso-entropic (and adiabatic) process. Process B-C: The high pressure saturated liquid enters a boiler where it is heated at constant pressure process by an external heat source to a super-heated vapor. Process C-D: The super-heated vapor goes through a turbine, generating power exiting as a saturated vapor. Assume an iso-entropic (and adiabatic) process and neglect kinetic energy and potential energy changes. Process D-A: The saturated vapor then enters a condenser where it is condensed at a constant pressure process back to its original state. The boiler operates at 10 MPa (points B & C) and the condenser operates at 100 kPa (points A & D). Assume a mass flow rate of 1 kg/s. a) Make a table of the temperature, pressure, volume, internal energy, enthalpy, entropy…

Hello Sir,Good Night.I have a question in my homework related thermodynamics lesson.The following below is my question. Please advice, thank you

Assume an iso-entropic (and adiabatic) process and neglect kinetic energy and potential energy changes. Process D-A: The saturated vapor then enters a condenser where it is condensed at a constant pressure process back to its original state. The boiler operates at 8 MPa (points B & C) and the condenser operates at 200 kPa (points A & D). Assume a mass flow rate of 1 kg/s.
