Consider a Carnot heat engine cycle executed in a closed system in the saturated liquid-vapor mixture region using 0.8 kg of R-134a as the working fluid. The maximum and minimum temperatures in the cycle are 60°C and 20°C, respectively. It is known that the refrigerant is saturated liquid at the beginning of the heat addition process, and the net work output from the cycle is 13.360 kJ.

A geothermal heat pump running a simple heat pump cycle uses R-134a as the refrigerant and sources thermal energy from well water. The well water enters the evaporator at 13°C and exits at 7°C, with negligible pressure drop. On the refrigerant side, the evaporator operates isobarically at 320 kPa and the refrigerant exits the evaporator at 10°C. The refrigerant is compressed to 1200 kPa through the compressor, which has an isentropic efficiency of 90%. In the condenser, air absorbs energy from the refrigerant at a rate of 4.5 tons (1 ton = 211 kJ/min) as its temperature increases from 22°C at the condenser inlet to 42°C at the condenser outlet. The condenser operates isobarically, and the refrigerant exits the condenser at 20°C. Calculate the input power to the compressor and the COP of the heat pump.

A gas refrigeration cycle with a pressure ratio of 3 uses helium as the working fluid. The temperature of the helium is -10°C at the compressor inlet and 50°C at the turbine inlet. Assuming adiabatic efficiencies of 80 percent for both the turbine and the compressor, determine (a) the minimum temperature in the cycle, (b) the coefficient of performance, and (c) the mass flow rate of the helium for a refrigeration rate of 18 kW.
