power input is 1000 kW. Determine the rate and direction heat flow. (Cv = 1.005 Id/kg C).
A reversible cycle using an ideal gas as the working substance consists of a isentropic compression
from and initial temperature to 555K, a constant volume process from 555 to 835K, a reversible
adiabatic expansion to 555K, a constant pressure expansion from 555K to 835K followed by a
constant volume process to the initial temperature. Draw the cycle on p-v and the T.S. diagrams and
determine the initial temperature, (y = 1.40). Also compute the work done.

the condition for the maximum efficiency of the turbine. Discuss the physical significance of
diagram efficiency.
Water is drawn from a river at 7C arid has to be heated to 64C. Calculate the advantage of using
the heat pump plant described below over direct heating of the water. The water drawn from the river
passes first through the Freon condenser and then through the steam condenser. Assume that a heat
source above 450C is available.
Freon-12 Heat Pump compressor is driven by stream turbine. Its condenser temperature 60C
and evaporator temperature -5C. Freon-12enters compressor as saturated vapour and enters throttle
value as saturated liquid.
