POSTRANO, Donna LLANES, Marc Jordan BARROZO, James APPLICATIONS Problem 5.25 A reversible power cycle receives 1000 Btu of energy by heat transfer from a reservoir at 1540F and discharges energy by heat transfer to a reservoir at 40F. Determine the thermal efficiency and the net work developed, in Btu. DIAGRAM QC= ? QH= 1000 Btu Wcycle= ? TH= 1110.78 K Tc= 277.44 K POWE R CYCLE Given: QH = 1000 Btu TH = 1540F 837.78C 1110.78K TC = 40F 4.44C 277.44K
Required: W CYCLE= ? =? Solution: From equation 5.6 QC TC QH TH QC 277.44K 1000Btu 1110.78K
