The data listed below are claimed for a power cycle operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 500C and 10C, respectively. For each case, determine whether the cycle operates reversibly, operates irreversibly, or is impossible. (a) (b) QH = 70000J, Wcycle = 460 kJ, QC = 240 kJ QH = 600 kW, Wcycle = 16800 kJ/min, QC = 19200 kJ/min QH = 901.26 kJ, Wcycle = 570.5kJ, QC = 330.76 kJ QH = 800 kJ, Wcycle = 400kJ, QC = 400 kJ The data listed below are claimed for a power cycle operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 500C and 10C, respectively.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To determine whether the power cycle operates reversibly operates irreversibly or is impossible we can use the first and second laws of thermodynamics The first law of thermodynamics which is the prin... View the full answer
