As shown in the figure below, two reversible cycles arranged in series each produce the same net work, Wcycle. The first cycle receives energy Qu by heat transfer from a hot reservoir at TH = 1000°R and rejects energy Q by heat transfer to a reservoir at an intermediate temperature, T. The second cycle receives energy Q by heat transfer from the reservoir at temperature T and rejects energy Qc by heat transfer to a reservoir at Tc = 500°R. All energy transfers are positive in the directions of the arrows. Determine: Hot reservoir at TH Reservoir at T R1 20 hin R2 Oc Cold reservoir at Te W cycle Wcycle (a) the intermediate temperature T, in °R, and the thermal efficiency for each of the two power cycles. (b) the thermal efficiency of a single reversible power cycle operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 1000°R and 500°R, respectively. Also, determine the ratio of the network developed by the single cycle to the net work developed by each of the two cycles, Wcycle-

Question

Transcribed Image Text:As shown in the figure below, two reversible cycles arranged in series each produce the same net work, Wcycle. The first cycle receives
energy QH by heat transfer from a hot reservoir at TH = 1000°R and rejects energy Q by heat transfer to a reservoir at an intermediate
temperature, T. The second cycle receives energy Q by heat transfer from the reservoir at temperature T and rejects energy Qc by
heat transfer to a reservoir at Tc = 500°R. All energy transfers are positive in the directions of the arrows.
Determine:
