Consider a Carnot-cycle heat engine with water as the working fluid. The heat transfer to the water

Question:

Consider a Carnot-cycle heat engine with water as the working fluid. The heat transfer to the water occurs at 300C, during which process the water changes from saturated liquid to saturated vapor. The heat is rejected from the water at 40C. Show the cycle on a T–s diagram and finds the quality of the water at the beginning and end of the heat rejection process. Determine the net work output per kilogram of water and the cycle thermal efficiency.
