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
