Consider the combined power cycle for which Qin=Qin1 ,Qout=Qout2 and Wcycle=Wcycle1 + Wcycle2. Derive an expression for the thermal efficiency ? of the combined power cycle in terms of ?1 and ?2.

Prove that ? > ?1 and ? > ?2. In plain English, you are being asked to prove that the combined power cycle is more efficient than each of the two cycles alone [Hint: Starting from the expression for ? derived in part (ii), each of the two proofs requires exactly one additional step and no more.]
