2) A steam power plant operates according to the simple ideal Rankine cycle. The pressure limits of the cycle are 9 MPa and 10 kPa, and the flow of water eirculating in the cycle is 60 kg/s.

If one measurement is conducted in the four processes and shows that the pressure ratio (P3/P2)in the adiabatic expansion is 1.2 times the pressure ratio (P4/P1) in the adiabatic compression, can you justify if it is a Carnot engine? Please give your reason
An ideal gas turbine cycle consisting of 2 stages of compression and 2 stages of expansion has an overall pressure ratio of 9. Air enters the compressors at the temperature of 320 K while, being intercooled between the stages. Air enters the first compressor at 100 kPa and the pressure ratio of cach of the compressors are selected in a way that minimizes the total power input for the compressors. The high-pressure turbine (First one) drives the compressors and the low-pressure one produces power output. The compressors and both the high-pressure and low-pressure turbines can be assumed ideal. To increase the efficiency of the cycle a regenerator with effectiveness of 85% is used to recover some heat from the exhaust of the second turbine. In this cycle, air with the temperature of 1400 K enters the first turbine. After expansion in the first turbine, air is reheated to the same temperature at the inlet of the first turbine (1400 K). You can consider constant specific heats of c,=1.005…
