A power cycle operates between hot and cold reservoirs at 600 K and 300 K, respectively. At steady state the cycle develops a power output of 0.3 MW while receiving energy by heat transfer from the hot reservoir at the rate of 1 MW. Determine the thermal efficiency and the rate at which energy is rejected by heat transfer to the cold reservoir, in MW for the following.

(a) The power cycle and conditions above.
(b) A reversible power cycle operating between the reservoirs and receiving the same rate of heat transfer from the hot reservoir as in part (a).

Answer :

Answer:

a) The thermal efficiency is 30%

the rate at which energy is rejected by heat transfer to the cold reservoir is 0.7 MW

b) The thermal efficiency is 50%

the rate at which energy is rejected by heat transfer to the cold reservoir is 0.5 MW
