Question: HW# 7 - 5 ( 1 5 pt ) Consider a solar - pond ( a large - scale solar thermal collector ) power plant

HW#7-5(15 pt) Consider a solar-pond (a large-scale solar thermal collector) power plant that operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle with R-134a as the working fluid between 0.7 MPa and 1.6 MPa . The mass flow rate of R-134a is 3kgs.
(a) Case 1: R-134a enters the turbine as a saturated vapor at 1.6 MPa .
(b) Case 2: R-134a leaves the turbine as a saturated vapor at 0.7 MPa .
For these two cases, (i) Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines. Determine (ii) the thermal efficiency of the cycle and (iii) the net power output of this plant.
