A power cycle has been developed that is claimed to extract 313kJ of heat from a hot reservoir at 500°C, before converting it to 192.298kJ of work, and then rejecting 120.702kJ of heat to the ambient environment which is at 25°C. 2.1. Dose the power cycle violate the first law of thermodynamics? 2.2. Dose the cycle violate the second law of thermodynamics? 2.3. Determine the increase in entropy experienced by both the hot and cold reservoirs as well as the system as a whole.

A gas-fired power plant operating on a Brayton cycle draws in 9.0 kg/s of atmospheric air, initially at 300 K and 100 kPa, in order to generate 1.7 MW of electricity. If the combustion chamber adds heat by burning 0.07 kg/s of fuel with a heating value of 46.1 MJ/kg, and as a result the air entering the turbine is at a temperature of 861 K, determine the back work ratio of this device to 2 decimal places. You may treat the added mass of the fuel as negligible. Take the cp of air to have a constant value of 1.005 kJ/(kg K) throughout the whole cycle, and its ratio of specific heats k can be assumed to take the value 1.4.

A turbine with one extraction for regenerative feedwater heating, receives steam with an enthalpy of 3373 kJ/kg and discharges it with an exhaust enthalpy of 2326 kJ/kg. The ideal regenerative feedwater heater receives 11,338 kg/h of extracted steam at 345 kPa (whose h= 2745 kJ/kg). The feedwater (condensate from the condenser) enters the heater with an enthalpy of 140 kJ/kg and departs saturated at 345 kPa (h=582 kJ/kg). Find the work turbine output in kW.
