Task 3 from a to c

Task 3
(a) What is the working fluid for Rankine cycle?
(b) Draw the "temperature-entropy" diagram that represents the Rankine cycle.
(c) Is it possible to maintain a pressure of 10 kPa in a condenser that is being cooled by river
water entering at 20°C? Why?
(d) The maximal temperature in a Rankine cycle is limited now by metallurgical conditions,
presently the highest steam temperature at the turbine is around 620 °C. Calculate the upper
limit of a heat engine i.e. Carnot efficiency (%) if the environment temperature is 10 °C.
(e) Draw another "temperature-entropy" diagram that represents the reheat Rankine cycle.
