Discuss the below:
Q: A supply of geothermal hot water is to be used as the energy source in an ideal Rankine cycle, with R-134a as the cycle working fluid. (See the diagrams below) Saturated vapor R-134a leaves the boiler at a temperature of 85°C, and the condenser temperature is 40°C.

(1) Calculate the heat transfers in kJ/kg at the boiler and condenser.
(2) Calculate the work in kJ/kg at the pump and turbine
(3) Calculate the thermal efficiency of this cycle
