A Carnot steam cycle operates between temperature limits of 350 °C and 20°C. Determine the net work and thermal efficiency of the cycle.

A heat engine operated as a reversible Carnot cycle using 1 kg of air as a working fluid between 500 degrees of a high heat source and 27 degrees of a low heat source is operated at 60 cycles per minute. If both the pressure P2 after isothermal expansion and the pressure P4 after isothermal compression are 30Pa, calculate how many kWh of the output power is generated during an hour by this cycle. Air gas constant : 0.287 J/kgK, specific ratio : 1.4 answer : 449.7 kWh

Consider a variation of the Carnot cycle in a closed system with 10 kg of pure water operating. ranging between temperatures of 130 C and 350 ◦C. State 1 is a saturated liquid. Process 1-2 is a isothermal expansion with a supply of QH = 10 MJ. Process 2-3 is an adiabatic expansion with isentropic efficiency from 0.75 to minimum temperature. Process 3-4 is a compression isothermal, and the 4-1 process is a reversible adiabatic compression. Calculate: a. The pressure p2, the bonds x4 and x3, and the specific entropies s1 and s3; b. The work in each expansion and compression process; c. The heat rejected QL, the net work produced Wl i q and the yield η of the cycle; d. The entropy generated Sg in the cycle
