Solution 10.13C

Yes, because the saturation temperature of steam at 10 kPa is 45.81C, which is much
higher than the temperature of the cooling water.

Solution 10.15

A simple ideal Rankine cycle with R-134a as the working fluid is considered. The turbine
inlet temperature, the cycle thermal efficiency, and the back-work ratio of the cycle are to
be determined.
Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exist. 2 Kinetic and potential energy changes
are negligible.
