APPLICATIONS
Problem 5.25
A reversible power cycle receives 1000 Btu of
energy by heat transfer from a reservoir at
1540F and discharges energy by heat
transfer to a reservoir at 40F. Determine the
thermal efficiency and the net work developed,
in Btu.

Given:
QH = 1000 Btu
TH = 1540F 837.78C 1110.78K
TC = 40F 4.44C 277.44K

Required:
W CYCLE= ?
=?
Solution:
From equation 5.6
QC TC
QH TH
QC 277.44K
1000Btu
1110.78K

QC = 249.77 Btu



For Net Work:

WCYCLE = QH-QC
= 1000 Btu-249.77 Btu
WCYCLE = 750.23 Btu
Thermal efficiency:
= Wcycle / QH
= 750.23 / 1000
= 0.75 (e.i 75 %)

Alternatively we can solve this by using Eq.
5.8
Since the power cycle is REVERSIBLE where
=max .

max = 1- Tc
TH
=1- 277.44
1110.78
max = 0.75 (e.i 75 %)
From equation 5.2
= Wcycle
QH
Wcycle= (QH )
=(0.75)(1000 Btu)
Wcycle=750.23 Btu
