The figure shows two power cycles, A and B, operating in series, with the energy transfer by heat into cycle B equal in magnitude to the energy transfer by heat from cycle A. All energy transfers are positive in the directions of the arrows. Determine an expression for the thermal efficiency of an overall cycle consisting of cycles A and B together in terms of their individual thermal efficiencies.

Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.

NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. A steam power plant receives heat from a furnace at a rate of 280 GJ/h. Heat losses to the surrounding air from the steam as it passes through the pipes and other components are estimated to be about 8 GJ/h. The waste heat is transferred to the cooling water at a rate of 170 GJ/h. Problem 06.017.a - Net power output of steam power plant Determine the net power output. (You must provide an answer before moving to the next part.) The net power output is MW.
