Problem for II Unit

1. A reversible heat engine operates between two reservoirs at temperatures of 600 0C


and 400C. The engine drives a reversible refrigerator which operates between
reservoirs at temperatures of 400C and -200C. The heat transfer to the heat engine is
2000 kJ and the net work output of the combined engine refrigerator plant is 360 kJ.
a) Evaluate the heat transfer to the refrigerator and the net heat transfer to the
reservoir at 400C. b) Reconsider (a) given that the efficiency of the heat engine and
the COP of the refrigerator are each 40% of their maximum possible values.
2. Two Carnot engines A and B are connected in series between two thermal reservoirs
maintained at 1000 K and 100 K respectively. Engine A receives 1680 kJ of heat from
the high-temperature reservoir and rejects heat to the Carnot engine B. Engine B takes
in heat rejected by engine A and rejects heat to the low-temperature reservoir. If
engines A and B have equal thermal efficiencies, determine a) The heat rejected by
engine B, b) the temperature at which heat is rejected by engine A, c) the work done
during the process by engines, A and B respectively. If engines A and B deliver equal
work, determine (d) the amount of heat taken in by engine B and e) the efficiencies of
engines
3. One kg of ice at -50C is exposed to the atmosphere which is at 200C. The ice melts and
comes into thermal equilibrium with the atmosphere. Determine: i) the heat transfer to
the ice and ii) the entropy changes of system and the universe. Assume Cp of ice is
2.093 kJ/kg K and the latent heat of fusion is 333.3 kJ/kg.
4. In a closed system air is at a pressure of 1 bar, temperature of 300 K and volume of
0.025 m3. The system executes the following processes during the completion of
thermodynamic cycle: 1-2: constant volume heat addition till pressure reaches 3.8 bar,
2-3: constant pressure cooling of air, 3-1: isothermal heating to initial state. Sketch the
cycle in p-V and T-s plane. Determine the change in entropy in each process. Take Cv
= 798 J/kg K and R = 287 J/kg K.
