Question # 1
The net work output and the thermal efficiency for the Carnot and the simple ideal Rankine cycles with
steam as the working fluid are to be calculated and compared. Steam enters the turbine in both cases at 5
MPa as a saturated vapor, and the condenser pressure is 50 kPa. In the Rankine cycle, the condenser exit
state is saturated liquid and in the Carnot cycle, the boiler inlet state is saturated liquid. Draw the T-s
diagrams for both cycles.
