Calculate the cycle work and determine what is the intended purpose of this cycle. - Using the Clausius statement, determine whether this cycle is possible. - If this cycle is possible, calculate its efficiency. If this cycle is impossible, evaluate the maximum cycle performance using the Clausius statement for ideal (reversible) cycles.

A power plant with a nominal rating of 1kW does not actually produce 1kW continuously because its capacity factor C - the fraction of the time that it is actually running at its rated power - is less than 100%. If the capacity factor C = 35%, how much energy will be generated by this power plant over 1 year in MJ?
A Carnot refrigeration cycle is used as a reference to estimate the energy needed in an attempt to reduce the temperature of a laboratory sample to absolute zero. Suppose you want to remove 0.01 J of energy from the sample that is at 2x10-6K. If the high temperature is 20°C, the heat required is 982.05x10-5J. Analyzing these considerations, calculate the increase in laboratory entropy and the decrease in entropy in the sample.
