Question

Figure 5.15 in the text gives a schematic of a Carnot cycle operating with a H2O
liquid/vapor with a steady flow (constant mass flow rate) through each component. From
the properties given below your cycle may or may not be a Carnot cycle. Kinetic energy
and potential energy changes can be ignored in this problem. The cycle conditions are as
follows:

Process 4 – 1: constant pressure at 300 kPa from saturated liquid to saturated vapor

Process 2 – 3: constant pressure at 30 kPa from x2 = 87.9% to x3 = 10.9%

a) Determine the thermal efficiency using steam table data
b) Compare the result of part a) with the Carnot efficiency using the boiler and
condenser temperatures.
c) State if the cycle is internally reversible, irreversible or impossible
