Question: ( 3 2 points ) You are keen to analyze an organic Rankine Cycle using propanone ( acetone ) as the working fluid.

(32 points) You are keen to analyze an organic Rankine Cycle using propanone ("acetone") as the working fluid. You know that the actual work of the turbine is 100kW at 60mols. The fluid leaving the pump is at 50C and 600kPa. The fluid entering the turbine is 120C and 600kPa. If you ignore the pump work, estimate the thermal efficiency of this Rankine Cycle (i.e., the heat engine efficiency). Use the van der Waals EOS to model the system (i.e. with residuals). Note the information below for acetone.
