Two pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) as an ideal gas executes a Carnot power cycle while operating between thermal reservoirs at 530 and 100oF. The pressures at the initial and final states of the isothermal expansion are 400 and 200 lbf/in2, respectively. The specific heat ratio is k = 1.24. Determine the thermal efficiency, the work for the isothermal expansion, in Btu, and the work for the adiabatic expansion, in Btu.

A gas with specific volume v₁ = 1 m³/Kg and pressure p₁=1bar in a closed system undergoes a thermodynamic cycle which consists of the following three separate processes: 1->2: Isobaric compression to v₂-0.25 m³/Kg 2->3: Isometric heating. 3->1: Isothermal expansion (pV = constant) to the initial volume. Calculate the specific work produced by the gas per cycle. Present your answer in kJ/kg.

Refrigerant 134a enters a well-insulated nozzle at 200 lbf/in.2, 140°F, with a velocity of 120 ft/s and exits at 10 lbf/in.² with a velocity of 1500 ft/s. For steady-state operation, and neglecting potential energy effects, determine the temperature, in °F, and the quality of the refrigerant at the exit. T₂ = i 29.615 x2 = 78.516 % °F

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.

50 grams of water executes a Carnot power cycle. During the isothermal expansion, the water is heated at 10 MPa from saturated liquid to a saturated vapor.
