Steam in a Carnot engine is compressed adiabatically from 20 kPa to 800 kPa. The heat addition results in saturated vapor. The quality of state 1 (the initial state of the isothermal process at T(h) ) is 15%.

a) sketch the cycle in a T-s Diagram

b) calculate the thermal efficiency

c) calculate the net work per cycle.

d) what is the quality at the end of the Cycle?
