Question: PART B: ( 8 points ) Two reversible power cycles arranged in series each produce the same network, Wcycle as shown in the Figure below.

PART B:
(8 points)
Two reversible power cycles arranged in series each produce the same network, Wcycle as shown in the Figure below. The first cycle receives energy QHH by heat transfer from a hot reservoir at 282C and rejects energy Q by heat transfer to a reservoir at an intermediate temperature, T. The second cycle receives energy Q by heat transfer from the reservoir at temperature T and rejects energy Qc by heat transfer to a reservoir at 51C. All energy transfers are positive in the directions of the arrows. Determine:
(i) The intermediate temperature T (in K ),
(ii) The thermal efficiency for each of the two power cycles,
(2 points)
(iii)The maximum therm for (2 points)
ver cycle operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 282C and 51C, respectively, (2 points)
(iv) The network developed by the single cycle, expressed in terms of the network developed by each of the two cycles, Wcycle.
