WI-2-60-1-6 EMG 2302: THERMODYNAMICS II BSC. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING caT 1 127 OCTOBER, 2023 TIME: 1 HOUR ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS 1. Sketch a T-s diagram for a Carnot cycle and use it to discuss one typical shortcoming that prevents the Carnot cycle from being used as the ideal model for steam power plants. Explain how this shortcoming is overcome. [4 marks] 2, State the advantages of superheating. [3 marks] 3. What is cogeneral [2 marks] Calculate the heat and work transfers, cycle efficiency, work ratio and specific steam consumption of a Rankine cycle operating between pressures of 40 bar and 0.075 bar. [6 marks] 5. Assuming the process steam in question 4 was superheated and reheated to 500°C, calculate the cycle efficiency and specific steam consumption. {5 marks] 6. Calculate the idea cycle efficiency and specific steam consumption of a regenerative cycle using three tlosed heaters»The steam leaves the boiler at 30 bar superheated to 450°C, and the condenser pressure is 0.04 bar. Choose the bleed pressures so that the temperature difference (temperature difference between boiler temperature and condenser temperature) is divided into approximately equal steps. Neglect the feed pump term. [10 marks] n?
