Chapter 10.9, Problem 6P

Water enters the boiler of a steady-flow Carnot engine as a saturated liquid at 300 psia and leaves with a quality of 0.95. Steam leaves the turbine at a pressure of 20 psia. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram relative to the saturation lines, and determine (a) the thermal efficiency, (b) the quality at the end of the isothermal heat-rejection process, and (c) the net work output.

R-134a enters the compressor of a refrigerator at 140 kPa and -10 ˚C at a rate of 0.3m3/min and leaves at 1 MPa. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 78%. The refrigerant enters the throttling valve at 0.95 MPa and 30 ˚C, and leaves the evaporator as saturated vapor at -18.5 ˚C. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine (a) the power input to the compressor, (b) the rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space, and (c) the pressure drop and (d) rate of heat gain in the line between the evaporator and the compressor.
Please solve this problem, Thank you  very much
A steam power plant operates on a Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 45 MW. Steam enters the turbine at 7 MPa and 450 °C and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kPa by running cooling water from a lake through the tubes of the condenser at a rate of 2000 kg/s. Due to irreversibility in the turbine, the steam quality at the outlet of the turbine is 85 percent. Show the T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines. 1 Determine: 2 .3 .4 the isentropic efficiency of the turbine, the thermal efficiency of the cycle, and the mass flow rate of the steam.
