QUESTION:

During the isothermal heat rejection process of a Carnot cycle, the working fluid experiences an entropy change of 20.7 Btu/R. If the temperature of the heat sink is 958F, determine (a) the amount of heat transfer, (b) the entropy change of the sink, and (c) the total entropy change for this process.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

Heat is transferred isothermally from the working fluid of a Carnot engine to a heat sink.

The entropy change of the working fluid is given. The amount of heat transfer, the entropy change of the sink, and the total entropy change during the process are to be determined.
