Question: Problem 1 . A piston - cylinder assembly fitted with stops contains 0 . 2 0 9 kg of water, initially at 1 . 0

Problem 1. A piston-cylinder assembly fitted with stops contains 0.209 kg of water, initially at 1.0MPa,581C. The water undergoes two processes in series:
Process 1-2: Constant-pressure cooling until the piston face rests against the stops. The volume occupied by the water is then one-half its initial volume.
Process 2-3: With the piston face resting against the stops, the water cools to 28C.
(a) Sketch the two processes on a p-v diagram.
(b) Neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, evaluate for each process the work and heat transfer, each in kJ.
Problem 2. A reversible power cycle receives energy QH by heat transfer from a hot reservoir at TH and rejects energy QC by heat transfer to a cold reservoir at TC.
(a) If TH=1165K and TC=438K, what is the thermal efficiency?
(b) If TH=530C,TC=30C, and Wcycle=1081kJ, what are QH and QC, each in kJ ?
(c) If =64% and TC=37F, what is TH, in F?
(d) If =49% and TH=744C, what is TC, in C?
