1.

A power plant operating on an ideal Rankine cycle has steam entering the turbine at
500°C and 2 MPa. If the steam enters the pump at 10 kPa, calculate (a) the thermal
efficiency with pump work included. (b) the thermal efficiency neglecting pump work,
and (c) the percentage error in efficiency neglecting pump work.
2. An ideal Rankine cycle operates between temperatures of 500°C and 60°C.
Determine the cycle efficiency and the quality of the turbine outlet steam if the pump
outlet pressure is (a) 2 MPa, (b) 6 MPa, and (c) 10 MPa.
3. The influence of maximum temperature on the efficiency of a Rankine cycle is
desired. Holding the maximum and minimum pressures constant at 1000 psia and 2
psia, respectively, what is the thermal efficiency if the boiler outlet steam temperature is
(a)8000F, (b)10000F, and (c)12000F?
4. A power plant is to be operated on an ideal Rankine cycle with the superheated
steam exiting the boiler at 4 MPa and 500°C. Calculate the thermal efficiency and the
quality at the turbine outlet if the condenser pressure is (a) 20 kPa, (b) 10 kPa, and (c) 8
kPa.
5. A power plant burns 1000 kg of coal each hour and produces 500 kW of power.
Calculate the overall thermal efficiency if each kg of coal produces 6 MJ of energy.
6. A Carnot engine rejects 80 MJ of energy every hour by transferring heat to a
reservoir at 10°C. Determine the temperature of the high-temperature reservoir and the
power produced if the rate of energy addition is 40 kW.
7. The air in the cylinder of an air compressor is compressed from 100 kPa to 10 MPa.
Estimate the final temperature and the work required if the air is initially at 100°C
8. Steam is contained in a 1.2 m3 volume at a pressure of 3 MPa and a quality of 0.8.
The pressure is held constant. What is the final temperature if (a) 3 MJ and (b) 30 MJ of
heat is added?
9. Heat is added to a container holding 0.5 m3 of steam initially at a pressure of 400
kPa and a quality of 80 percent (Fig. 4-30). If the pressure is held constant, find the heat
transfer necessary if the final temperature is (a) 5000C and (b) 6750C.
10. A Carnot engine operates between a low pressure of 15 psia and a high-pressure of
400 psia. The corresponding volumes are 250 and 25 in'. If there is 0.01 Ibm of air,
calculate the work output.
