Mechanical Engineering

A piston cylinder device containing 0.5 kg of water hasinitial volume of 0.5L. The device starts and goes through a Carnotcycle and generates 500.3 kJ work. If the maximum temperature thatwater will reach is 1.5 times the minimum temperature of water andduring heat rejection process, water goes from saturated vapor tosaturated liquid phase
Find:
1. QH & QL for this cycle (10 points).
2. TH & TL for this cycle (10 points).
3. Maximum and minimum pressures that the cycle will reach (20points).
4. Show this process on a T-v diagram and label temperature,pressures and specific
volumes.
(To get full points, your states, and your processes should beaccurately placed in relation to
isobaric lines and vapor dome) (10 points).
5. The expansion and compression of water in this device arequasi-equilibrium processes,
EXPLAIN why this process delivers the highest amount of work(5 points). 6. Find the pressure at remaining state(s) (Bonus 5points)
