Question: The data listed below are claimed for a power cycle operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 8 2 7 C and 2 7 C

The data listed below are claimed for a power cycle operating between hot and
cold reservoirs at 827C and 27C, respectively. For each case, determine whether the cycle
operates reversibly, irreversibly or if it is impossible. Be sure to check both the first law and
second law of thermodynamics to ensure the cycle is possible
a. QH =672 kJ Wcycle =310 kJ QC =362 kJ
b. QH =432 kJ Wcycle =314 kJ QC =118 kJ
c. QH =443 kJ Wcycle =322 kJ QC =136 kJ
d. QH =469 kJ Wcycle =356 kJ QC =113 kJ
