Need help with this engineering problem.

 

Steam is the working fluid in the ideal Rankine cycle 1–2–3–4–1 and in the Carnot cycle 1–2–3'–4'–1 that both operate between pressures of 1 bar and 100 bar as shown in the T–s diagram in the figure below. Both cycles incorporate the steady flow devices.
 
 
 

For each cycle determine:

(a) the net power developed per unit mass of steam flowing, in kJ/kg.

(b) the percent thermal efficiency.

### Thermodynamic State Analysis

#### Diagram Explanation
The figure above is a T-s (Temperature vs. Entropy) diagram depicting a thermodynamic cycle involving various states. The process transitions between high pressure (100 bar) and low pressure (1 bar) with various intermediate states.

- **States 1 and 1'**: These states are indicated at a high pressure of 100 bar.
- **States 3 and 3'**: These states are at a low pressure of 1 bar.
- The diagram shows isothermal (constant temperature) and isobaric (constant pressure) processes across different stages of the cycle.

#### Data Table Explanation
The table provided below the diagram lists the properties of the system at various states within the cycle.
