A reversible power cycle whose thermal efficiency is 39% receives 50 kJ by heat transfer from a hot reservoir at 310oC and rejects energy by heat transfer to a cold reservoir at temperature TC. Determine the energy rejected, in kJ, and TC, in oC. Determine the entropy production for the cycle, σcycle, in kJ/K.
Operating in series are two reversible heat pumps. Heat transfer gives energy to the first cycle from a cold reservoir at 105 K and rejects energy by heat transfer to a reservoir at an intermediate temperature T greater than 105 K. The second cycle receives energy by heat transfer from the reservoir at T and rejects energy by heat transfer to a higher-temperature reservoir at 1200 K. If the heat pump cycles have the same co-efficient of performance, calculate: Low...
