Thermodynamics II Saturday, March 13, 2010, 13:00-15:00 Closed books, closed notes. You may use your own Tables and Figures if needed. _____Those who cheat will be forced to leave ITB. 1.(10%) What is back work ratio (bwr)? What are the common values for bwr of a Rankine cycle and that of a Brayton cycle? If the value is large, what can we do to improve it? 2.(t0%) What is the difference between air-standard assumptions and cold-air-standard assumptions? Write need to derive), the equations of thermal efficiency of an Otto cycle using both assumptions. 3.Consider a coal fired steam power plant that operates on a reheat Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 150 MW. Steam enters the high pressure turbine at 10 MPa and 500C and the low pressure turbine at 1 MPa and 500C. Steam leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid at a pressure of 10 kPa. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 80%, and that of the pump is 95%. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram and determine (a) the quality (or temperature, if superheated) of the steam at the low pressure turbine exit, (b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle, and (c) the mass flow rate of the steam. 4.(40%) A car with a four-cylinder, four-stroke, 2000 cc gasoline engine operates on an Otto cycle with a compression ratio of 10. Air enters at 100 kPa and 60C at the beginning of the compression process, and the maximum pressure in the cycle is 8 MPa. The compression and expansion processes may be modeled as isentropic with constant specific heats at 850 K. Determine (a) the net work output and the thermal efficiency, (b) the mean effective pressure, (c) the engine speed for a net power output of 50 kW.
