Question

2.(10 pts)A proposed engine cycle employs an ideal gas and consists of the following sequence of transformations; a) Isothermal compression at 300 o K from a pressure of 1bar to a pressure of 30bar b) Constant pressure heating to a temperature of 1600 o K. c) Isothermal expansion at 1600 o K to the original pressure of 1 bar. d) Constant pressure cooling to a temperature of 300 o K to complete the cycle An ideal regenerator connects d) to b) so that the heat given up in d) is used for the heating in b). For an engine using a kilamole of gas find the net work in kJ and the thermal efficiency. You may assume C p

Answer 1

Check the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

For ideal regeneration heat loss in cooling aqual to heat gain in compression so temperature Tb=Td as can be seen in the step by step solution in the attached images below.
