A steady-state system for producing power consist of a pump, heat exchanger and a turbine. Water at 1.0 bar and 20°C (state 1) enters the adiabatic pump and leaves at 10 bar (state 2). The pump draws 110 kW of power, and the mass flow rate of water is 45 kg/s. The water leaving the pump enters a heat exchanger and heated at constant pressure to 400°C (state 3) using exhaust gases (Cp of gases = 1.1 kJ/kgK) that enters at 500°C and exits at 182°C. The steam is adiabatically expanded in a turbine having an isentropic efficiency of 0.71. The turbine exhausts (state 4) to the surroundings at 1.0 bar. a.) What is the rate at which heat must be supplied from the heat source to the water to bring it to 400°C? b.) Determine the power produced by the turbine

Two reversible cycles are in series, each process doing the same net work, Wcycle. The first cycle receives energy QH by heat transfer from a hot reservoir at 1000°R and energy Q is reinjected 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 reinjects the QC energy by heat transfer to the reservoir at a temperature of 400°R. All energy transferred is positive in the direction of the arrow. Determine: a) the intermediate temperature T, in °R, and the thermal efficiency for each of the two cycles; b) the thermal efficiency of a simple reversible cycle operating between the hot and cold reservoirs at 1000°R and 400°C, respectively. Then determine the net work done by the simple cycle, expressed in terms of the net work done by each of the two cycles, Wcycle.
