1. Water is the working fluid in a Carnot vapor power cycle. Saturated liquid enters the boiler at a pressure of 10 MPa, and enters the turbine as a saturated vapor. The condenser pressure is 9 kPa. Determine
(a)the diagram; the thermal efficiency,
(b) the back work ratio,
(c) the heat transfer to the working fluid per unit
mass passing through the boiler in kJ/kg and
(d) the heat transfer from the working fluid per unit mass
passing through the condenser in kJ/kg.
(e) What-if Scenario: What would the thermal efficiency be if the steam entered the turbine at 5 MPa and the condenser pressure were 90 kPa
