Question: Task B A Carnot cycle is conducted on steam as follows. The evaporator produces dry saturated steam at 1 0 bar. The steam is expanded

Task B
A Carnot cycle is conducted on steam as follows. The evaporator produces dry saturated steam at 10 bar. The steam is expanded reversibly and adiabatically in a turbine to 1 bar. The exhaust steam is partially condensed and then compressed back to 10 har. As a result of the compression, the wet steam is changed completely into saturated water.
Assuming a flow rate of \(1\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{s}\) throughout determine the condition and specific enthalpy at each point in the cycle.
Calculate the energy transfers for each stage.
Show that the efficiency is correctly predicted by the expression, \(\eta=1-T_{\text {cold }}/ T_{\text {hot }}\)
