An ammonia heat engine has the following reversible steps:

1 ? 2 Isothermal heating of saturated liquid @ 60°C to superheated vapor

2 ? 3 Adiabatic expansion to saturated vapor at -20°C

3 ? 4 Isothermal cooling to a 2 phase fluid

4 ? 1 Adiabatic compression back to state 1

Find QH (in kJ/kg). Use the correct sign convention to indicate the direction of heat. Hint: build a T-S diagram of the whole cycle first.

A heat engine made with an ideal gas with f = 5 degrees of freedom has 3 steps. Starting with a volume of 8 liters and a pressure of 1.3 × 10^5 Pa, the gas is compressed adiabatically to a volume of 1 liter and a pressure P2. Next the gas expands at constant pressure back to 8 liters, then the pressure drops at constant volume back to 1.3×10^5 Pa. Draw the cycle in a P −V diagram. Calculate the...
