10-21 Consider a solar-pond power plant that operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. The refrigerant enters the turbine as a saturated vapor at 1.4 MPa and leaves at 0.7 MPa. The mass flow rate of the refrigerant is 3 kg/s. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine
a) the thermal efficiency of the cycle and
b) the power output of this plant.
