Answer in kJ/kg
Suppose that a power plant operates on a Carnot vapor cycle and uses water as the working substance. Saturated liquid water enters the boiler at a pressure of 10 MPa and leaves as saturated water vapor. Then it enters the steam turbine and leaves as saturated mixture at 20 kPa. Determine the heat added to the working substance in the boiler.
Consider an ideal vapor compression system using R-134a. Its condensing pressure
is 185 psia (sat. temp. 120 F) and evaporating pressure is 33 psia (sat. temp. 20 F).
Using the attached P-h state diagram, answer the questions below. (You may want
to have a ruler to help read the chart.)
a) Show the ideal cycle. Label the states (1,2,3,4).
b) Calculate the COP for this ideal cycle.
c) Determine the refrigerating effect per refrigerant circulated [Btu/lbm],
d) For ATsc = 10 F of subcooling, how much does it change the refrigeration effect
[% change].
e) Determine the COP for part d.
f) Determine the increase in COP for ATsh = 1 F of superheat. To answer this
question, compare the cycle in part e that has 0 F superheat with a cycle that has
20 F of superheat and calculate 4COP/ATsh-

An internally reversible compressor requires minimum power. For a steady flow compressor, the heat loss due to irreversibility occurring in a heat transfer process across a finite temperature difference from the system boundary can be determined if the following quantities are known: the surrounding and exit temperature values and the entropy difference in working fluid between inlet and exit conditions. The Q_loss term is same as the exergy destruction term in an exergy balance equation.
