1. (25 points) A Carnot engine operates between two temperature reservoirs maintained at 200C and 20C, respectively. If the desired output of the engine is 15 kW. Determine the heat transfer from the high-temperature reservoir and the heat transfer from the low-temperature reservoir.

2. (25 points) After a combustion process in a cylinder, the pressure is 1200 kPa and the temperature is

350C. The gases are expanded to 140 kPa with a reversible adiabatic process. Calculate the work done by the gases, assuming they can be approximated

rt

by air with constant specific heats.

3. (25 points)

A piston-cylinder

device contains 0.75 kg of nitrogen gas at 140 kPa and

3rc.

The gas is compressed slowly in a polytropic process during which PV1.3= constant. The process ends when the volume is reduced by one-half. Determine the entropy change of nitrogen during this process.
