Shown in the figure below is a system that executes a power cycle while receiving Q1 = 1800 Btu by heat transfer at a temperature of T1 = 1000°R and discharging Q2 = 1200 Btu by heat transfer at a temperature of T2 = 800°R. A third heat transfer occurs at a temperature of T3 = 600°R. These are the only heat transfers experienced by the system. (a) Applying an energy balance together with Eq. 5.13, determine the minimum and maximum values for Q3, in Btu, for the heat transfer at T3 = 600°R. (b) For the power cycle, evaluate the maximum theoretical thermal efficiency.

Question
Shown in the figure below is a system that executes a power cycle while receiving Q1 = 1800 Btu by heat transfer at a temperature of T1 = 1000°R and discharging Q2 = 1200 Btu by heat transfer at a temperature of T2 = 800°R. A third heat transfer occurs at a temperature of T3 = 600°R. These are the only heat transfers experienced by the system.




(a) Applying an energy balance together with Eq. 5.13, determine the minimum and maximum values for Q3, in Btu, for the heat transfer at T3 = 600°R.

(b) For the power cycle, evaluate the maximum theoretical thermal efficiency.
This diagram represents a thermodynamic cycle where a system exchanges heat and work with its surroundings. The system is depicted as a square, indicating a control volume.

- **\(Q_1\), \(Q_2\), and \(Q_3\):** These are the heat transfer rates into or out of the system. They are represented by wavy arrows:
  - \(Q_1\) enters the system at temperature \(T_1\).
  - \(Q_2\) exits the system at temperature \(T_2\).
  - \(Q_3\) exits the system at temperature \(T_3\).

- **\(W_{cycle}\):** This is the work done by the system as part of the cycle. It is represented by a straight arrow pointing to the right.

- **Temperatures \(T_1\), \(T_2\), and \(T_3\):** These denote the temperatures associated with the heat transfers \(Q_1\), \(Q_2\), and \(Q_3\), respectively.

This cycle illustrates the principles of thermodynamics, highlighting how energy is transferred and converted within a closed system.
