NOT WORTH POINTS PRACTICE EXAM25 pts ) Consider a Carnot power cycle (i.e., Carnot heat engine) where air is the working fluid. The start of the isothermal expansion process occurs at 10 bar and 1500 K and goes until the pressure is 1 bar . The isothermal compression process occurs at a temperature of 800 K .
(a)(5 pts) Sketch the T-s diagram.
(b)(5 pts) Find the entropy change, in kJkg-K, during the isothermal expansion.
(c)(5 pts) Determine the 2 theat input (QH) in kJkg.
(d)(5 pts ) Determine the net work, in kJkg.
(e)(5 pts) Determine the thermal efficiency.
You may assume a constant specific heat values (given in Table on page 3 of the exam)...although not needed depending on solution approach.
Hint: geometric arguments (areas on the T-s diagram, based on the "TdS equations") are one approach to some sections of this problem; however, other methods will work too.
