Consider an ideal Rankine cycle modified with the addition of a single reheat stage. The working fluid is H20. The maximum pressure in the cycle is 10MPa, and the temperature of the steam exiting both the boiler and the reheater is 550°C. The pressure in the condenser is 10kPa.

1.Draw the T-s diagram for the following three cases.

a) 4.5MPa (= 0.25Pmax + 2MPA)

b) 2.5MPA (= 0.25Pmax)

c) 0.5MPa (= 0.25Pmax - 2MPA)

2.Calculate the thermal efficiency for the three reheat cycles in part 1

The propane is contained in a piston-cylinder assembly, which maintains constant pressure at 0.2 MPa. If a mixture with a quality of 0.65 and a total volume of 0.07 m3 is slowly heated to a temperature of 54°C.

a) what was the total work into the system.

b) what was the total amount of heat added to the system.

Steam leaves the boiler of a 100 MW Rankine cycle power plant at 400°C and 3.5MPa. The Turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 85% and exhausts at 15 kPa. In the condenser, the water is subcooled to 38°C by lake water at 13°C. The pump isentropic efficiency is 75%.

1. Draw and label the T-s diagram for this cycle

2. Determine the cycle’s thermal efficiency

3. Determine the mass flow rate of the steam in the boiler (kg/h)

4. Determine the back-work ratio

5. Determine the minimum required cooling water flow rate if regulations limit the cooling water temperature rise to 10°C (kg/h)

Bruce, a research chemist for a major petro-chemical company, wrote a dense report about some new compounds he had synthesized in the laboratory from oil-refining by-products. The bulk of the report consisted of tables listing their chemical and physical properties, diagrams of their molecular structure, chemical formulas and computer printouts of toxicity tests. Buried at the end of the report was a casual speculation that one of the compounds might be a particularly effective insecticide.

Seven years later, the same oil company launched a major research program to find more effective but environmentally safe insecticides. After six months of research, someone uncovered Bruce’s report and his toxicity tests. A few hours of further testing confirmed that one of Bruce’s compounds was the safe, economical insecticide they had been looking for.

Bruce had since left the company, because he felt that the importance of his research was not being appreciated.

1. Define the rhetorical situation: Who is communicating to whom about what, how, and why? What was the goal of the communication in each case?
2. Identify the communication error (poor task or audience analysis? Use of inappropriate language or style? Poor organization or formatting of information? Other?)
3. Explain what costs/losses were incurred by this problem.
4. Identify possible solutions or strategies that would have prevented the problem, and what benefits would be derived from implementing solutions or preventing the problem.

4. A two-stage cascade cooling system operates between the pressure limits of 1 and 0.1 MPa. Each stage operates on the ideal vapor compression cooling system and the refrigerant R-134a is used as working fluid. The heat transfer from the lower to the upper cycle takes place in an adiabatic reverse flow heat exchanger where both streams enter about 0.4 MPa. The refrigerant mass flow rate is 0.24 kg / s throughout the upper cycle.

b. heat extraction rate and compressor input power from chilled area
c. Determine the COP value.
