1.)(20 points) The cogeneration plant shown below can supply process heat or electricity to its neighbors. The system is set up to allow for a certain amount of working fluid (\( z \) is the mass fraction sent to process heat exchanger) to bypass the turbine. In addition, it can extract additional fluid part way through the turbine ( y is mass fraction extracted). The process heater also acts as a mixer. The process runs at steady-state and the working fluid can be assumed to be that of water.
a) Define a closed system below, by using a solid line to outline the boundaries of your system.
b) Add arrows and label the energy transfer into and out of your closed system at the appropriate devices.
c) Consider just the heat exchanger / mixer device.
a. Identify the type of system:
b. Add a dash-lined to show the system boundaries of the heat exchanger / mixer
c. Add arrows and label the energy transfer into and out of the heat exchanger / mixer.
d) How many distinct processes are identified in the diagram below? \(\mathrm{M}=\)
e) How many distinct states of the working fluid exist in the diagram below? \(\mathrm{N}=\)(Indicate these states below by showing numbers 1 to N )
f) How many state properties need to be known at each state to fully describe the state of the water?
