Question:

Consider a Carnot cycle executed in a closed system with air as the working fluid. The maximum pressure in the cycle is 800 kPa while the maximum temperature is 750 K. If the entropy increase during the isothermal heat rejection process is 0.25 kJ/kg K and the net work output is 100 kJ/kg, determine
(a) The minimum pressure in the cycle,
(b) The heat rejection from the cycle, and
(c) The thermal efficiency of the cycle.
(d) If an actual heat engine cycle operates between the same temperature limits and produces 5200 kW of power for an air flow rate of 90 kg/s, determine the second law efficiency of this cycle.
