A piston/cylinder device operating in a cycle with steam as the working fluid executes the following steps:
Question:
• Steam at 550 kPa and 200oC is heated at constant volume to a pressure of 800 kJPa.
• It then expands, reversibly and adiabatically, to the initial temperature of 200oC.
• Finally, the steam is compressed in a mechanically reversible, isothermal process to the initial pressure of 550 kPa.
What is the thermal efficiency of the cycle?
