(8.24/8.17) A heat engine receives 6 kW from a 2500C source and rejects heat at 300C.

Examine each
of the three cases with respect to inequality of Clausius.
. .
a.W  6 kW, b. W  0 kW, c. Carnot Cycle

(8.31/8.32) Consider a Carnot-cycle heat engine with water as the working fluid. The heat transfer to
the water occurs at 300oC, during which process water changes from saturated liquid to saturated vapor.
The heat us rejected from the water at 40oC. Show the process on a T-s diagram and find the quality of
water at the beginning and at the end of the heat rejection process. Determine the net work output per
kg water and cycle thermal efficiency.
(8.33/8.35) Water is used as the working fluid in a Carnot cycle heat engine, when it changes from
saturated liquid to saturated vapor at 200oC as heat is added. Heat is rejected in a constant pressure
process (also constant T) at 20 kPa. The heat engine powers a Carnot cycle refrigerator that operates
between -15oC and +20oC as shown in Fig. Find the heat added to the water per kg water. How much
heat should be added to the water in the heat engine so that refrigerator can remove 1 kJ heat from the
cold space.
(8.39/Q) One kilogram of ammonia in a piston cylinder at 50oC and 1000 kPa ia expanded in a reversible
isothermal process to 100 kPa. Find the work and heat transfer for this process.
(8.45/8.47) One kilogram of water at 3000C expands against a piston in a cylinder until it reaches
ambient pressure, 100 kPa, at which point the water has a quality of 90.2 %. It may be assumed that the
expansion is reversible and adiabatic. What was the initial pressure in the cylinder and how much is
done by water
(8.51/8.51) A heavily-insulated cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston, contains ammonia at 5°C,
92.9% quality, at which point the volume is 200 L. The external force on the piston is now increased
slowly, compressing the ammonia until its temperature reaches 50°C. How much work is done by the
ammonia during this process?
