Question: ( 3 0 points ) In a water power ( Rankine ) cycle, saturated liquid water ( 0 . 1 k g s ) initially

(30 points) In a water power (Rankine) cycle, saturated liquid water (0.1kgs) initially at 100 kPa undergoes the following processes:
12 : adiabatic compression in a pump to 4.5 MPa (pump=0.8)
23 : constant pressure evaporation/heating to 600C
34 : adiabatic expansion in a turbine to the original pressure )=(0.92
41 : constant pressure condensation/cooling to the initial state
(a)(20 points) Determine the quality, temperature, pressure, enthalpy, and entropy at each state in the cycle. Remember, for the pump, use the equations shown in class to estimate temperature/entropy changes.
(b)(5 points) Calculate the cycle thermal efficiency.
(c)(5 points) Sketch the cycle on a T-s diagram.
