A binary vapor power cycle consists of two ideal Rankine

Chapter 8, Problem 8.76

(choose chapter or problem)

A binary vapor power cycle consists of two ideal Rankine cycles with steam and Refrigerant 134a as the working fluids. The mass flow rate of steam is 2kg/s. In the steam cycle, superheated vapor enters the turbine at 8 MPa, \(600^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), and saturated liquid exits the condenser at 250 kPa. In the interconnecting heat exchanger, energy rejected by heat transfer from the steam cycle is provided to the Refrigerant 134a cycle. The heat exchanger experiences no stray heat transfer with its surroundings. Superheated Refrigerant 134a leaves the heat exchanger at 600 kPa, \(30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), which enters the Refrigerant 134a turbine. Saturated liquid leaves the Refrigerant 134a condenser at 100 kPa. Determine

(a) the net power developed by the binary cycle, in kW.

(b) the rate of heat addition to the binary cycle, in kW.

(c) the thermal efficiency of the binary cycle.

(d) the rate of entropy production in the interconnecting heat exchanger, in kW/K.
