Question

I have uploaded parts of the question regarding the laws of thermodynamics which need to be solved, Kindly solve parts b) c) d) showing all formulas and working along with any explanations. Thank you!

b) A furnace is transferring heat to a heat engine at a rate of 85MW. The waste heat is rejected
to a nearby river at a rate of 48MW. Determine:
a. The net power output of the engine
b. The thermal efficiency of the engine
c) A freezer with a coefficient of performance of 4.3 extracts 165 kJ of heat at -10.0°C. The
room temperature is 25.0ºC.
a. How much heat is delivered to the room?
b.
How much work is required to run the freezer?
d) In a gas turbine, the gases flow at a rate of 5 Kg/s. The gases enter the turbine at a pressure
of 7 bar with a velocity 100m/s and leaves at a pressure 1.3 bar with velocity 230 m/s. the
turbine is insulated. If the enthalpy of the gas at the inlet is 1200KJ/Kg and at the outlet
950KJ/Kg, Determine
a. The work done
b. The capacity of the turbine
