Question
A reversible engine is supplied heat by a
finite heat reservoir reversibly and during
the process the temperature of the
working fluid increases from 523 K to 873
K. The water equivalent is 100 kJ/K. The
heat rejection during the cycle takes
place at surrounding temperature of 288
K. The processes are assumed to be
reversible. Determine the total heat
abstracted, availability and the loss of
availability.
