Consider a modification of the air-standard Otto cycle in which the isentropic compression and expansion processes are each replaced with polytropic processes having n = 1.35. The compression ratio is 10 for the modified cycle. At the beginning of compression, p1 = 1 bar and T1 = 310 K. The maximum temperature during the cycle is 2200 K. Determine: (a) the heat transfer and work in kJ per kg of air for each process in the modified cycle (see image below). (b) the percent thermal efficiency. (c) the mean effective pressure, in bar.

The schematic of a single-flash geothermal power plant with state numbers is given in Fig. P7-73. Geothermal resource exists as saturated liquid at 230°C. The geothermal liquid is withdrawn from the production well at a rate of 230 kg/s, and is flashed to a pressure of 500 kPa by an essentially isenthalpic flashing process where the resulting vapor is separated from the liquid in a separator and directed to the turbine. The steam leaves the turbine at 10 kPa with a moisture content of 10 percent and enters the condenser where it is condensed and routed to a reinjection well along with the liquid coming off the separator. Determine (a) the mass flow rate of steam through the turbine, (b) the isentropic efficiency of the turbine, (c) the power output of the turbine, and (d) the thermal efficiency of the plant (the ratio of the turbine work output to the energy of the geothermal fluid relative to standard ambient conditions).
