10-6 Consider a steady-flow Carnot cycle with water as the working fluid. The maximum and minimum temperatures in the cycle are 350 and 60°C. The quality of water is 0.891 at the beginning of the heat-rejection process and 0.1 at the end. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram relative to the saturation lines, and determine a) the thermal efficiency, b) the pressure at the turbine inlet, and c) the net work output. Answers: a) 0.465, b) 1.40 MPa, c) 1623 kJ/kg The Simple Rankine Cycle | |
