Determine net work developed per cycle-thermal efficiency
Mechanical Engineering
1 kg of a gas in a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes a Carnot power cycle for which the isothermal expansion occurs at 800 K. The change in specific entropy of the gas during the isothermal compression, which occurs at 400 K is -25 kJ/kg. K. Determine (a) the net work developed per cycle (kJ), and (b) the thermal efficiency.
