Problem (5.1): Consider a steam power plant that operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle
and has a net power output of 45 MW. Steam enters the turbine at 7 MPa and 500°C and is
cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kPa by running cooling water from a lake through
the tubes of the condenser. Show the cycle on a (T-S) diagram with respect to the saturation
lines, and determine (a) the thermal efficiency of the cycle (b) the mass flow rat r i?
steam.
Ans. (38.9%, 36 kg/s)

An ideal gas initially at P₁, V₁, and T₁ is taken through a cycle as shown below. (Let the factor n = 3.9. Note, this is the factor by which volume and pressure increase, as noted on the PV-diagram; it is NOT the number of moles of gas.) P nP; P₁ B D nv; (a) Find the net work done on the gas per cycle for 1.35 mol of gas initially at 0°C. kJ (b) What is the net energy added by heat to the system per cycle? kJ

Please solve and explian the solution: Let M represent a certain mass of coal which we assume will deliver 100 joules of heat when burned – whether in a house, delivered to the radiators or in a power plant, delivered at 1000°C. Assume the plant is ideal (no waste in turbines or generators) discharging its heat at 30°C to a river. How much heat will M, burned at the plant to generate electricity, provide for the house when the electricity is:(a) delivered to residential resistance-heating radiators?(b) delivered to a residential heat pump (again assumed ideal) boosting heat from a reservoir at 0°C into a hot-air system at 30°C?
Using the information provided (image), compare the change in entropy during the isothermal expansion from 1 L to 2 L of one mole of a rigid diatomic ideal gas and one mole of a rigid diatomic Van der Waals gas with b = 0.08 L/mol (ethanol). Are the changes in entropy the same for both or is one greater than the other?
I am doing an experiment on calculate latent heat from a kettle. I calculate the latent heat against time. I was hoping to see the it would remain constant. So I plotted 2 graphs the mass of evaporated water and the calculated latent heat. Could you explain to me why my caluclate latent heat graph is a polynomial while the mass change is linear?
