In a Carnot cycle, heat is supplied at 350 and rejected at 27 . The working fluid is water which, while receiving heat evaporates from liquid at 350 to steam at 350 . The associated entropy change is 1.44 kJ/kg-K.
(a) If the cycle operates on a stationary mass of 1kg of water, how much is the work done per cycle, and how much is the heat supplied?
(b) If the cycle operates in steady flow with a power output of 20kW, what is the steam flow rate?
