1.

Consider a solar-pond power plant that operates


on a simple ideal Rankine cycle with refrigerant-
134a as the working fluid. The refrigerant enters the
turbine as a saturated vapor at 1.4 Mpa and leaves
at 0.7 MPa. The mass flow rate of the refrigerant is 3
kg/s. show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to
saturation lines, and determine

s
a) the thermal efficiency of the cycle and

a
ew
b) the power output of this plant.
