Describe the function and components of a heat engine?
Using the ideas in heat pumps under cyclic process, thoroughly explain the following(with diagram if possible)
Data are provided for two reversible refrigeration cycles. One cycle operates between hot and
cold reservoirs at 27°C and 3°C, respectively. The other cycle operates between the same hot
reservoir at 27°C and a cold reservoir at -35°C. The refrigerator removes the same amount of
energy by heat transfer from its cold reservoir.
Determine the ratio of the net work input values of the two cycles,

- A heat pump operates with Refrigerant 134a as the working fluid. You are required to analyze its performance, and compare it with Camot heat pump. The data of the heat pump is as under: 23 - Thermodynamies-II Page 1 of 3 The heat pump is presently providing heating at a rate of 12 kW to maintain the interior of a building at 20°C. Outside temperature is 5°C. The refrigerant enters the compressor at 2.4 bar and increases the pressure to 8.0 bar. Efficiency of the compressor is 80%. a Temperatures at the principal states of the cycle, each °C b. Power input to the compressor, in kW c.
