Properties enthalpy and entropy are deriven from heat : In thermodynamics, path functions such as heat or work are dependent on path process, point functions are not. Properties enthalpy and entropy are deriven from heat and work relationships. However, when we calculate these properties just like point f..

Evaluate the thermal efficiency-carnot power cycle : One-half kilogram of water executes a Carnot power cycle. During the isothermal expansion, the water is heated until it is a saturated vapor from an initial state where the pressure is 1.5 MPa and the quality is 25%.

Determine the minimum theoretical value for TH in K : A power cycle operates between a reservoir at temperature TH and a lower-temperature reservoir at 280 K. At steady state, the cycle develops 40 kW of power while rejecting 1000 kJ/min of energy by heat transfer to the cold reservoir. Determine the mi..
