Applying the Energy Balance
A system consisting of 1 kg of H2O undergoes a power cycle composed of the following processes:
Process 1–2: Constant-volume heating from p1 = 5 bar, T1 = 160°C to p2 = 10 bar.
Process 2–3: Constant-pressure cooling to saturated vapor.
Process 3–4: Constant-volume cooling to T4 = 160°C.
Process 4–1: Isothermal expansion with Q41 = 815.8 kJ.
Sketch the cycle on T–v and p–v diagrams. Neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the thermal efficiency.
