At steady state, a thermodynamic cycle operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 1000 K and 500 K, respectively, receives energy by heat transfer from the hot reservoir at a rate of 1500 kW, discharges energy by heat transfer to the cold reservoir, and develops power at a rate of (a) 1000 kW, (b) 750 kW, (c) 0 kW. For each case, apply Eq. 5.13 on a time- rate basis to determine whether the cycle operates reversibly, operates irreversibly, or is impossible.

Q.17 Consider two identical, finite, isolated systems of constant heat capacity C at temperatures T, and T2 (T> T:). An engine works between them until their temperatures become equal. Taking into account that the work performed by the engine will be maximum (= Wmax) if the process is reversible (equivalently, the entropy change of the entire system is zero), the value of Wmax is: (A) C(T, – T2) (B) C (T, – T2)/2 (C) C(T, + T2 -- T;T2) (D) C(/T, - T)
