ANSWER:
Solution 87P
Step 1 of 9
Here the objective is to determine whether the cycle is reversible, irreversible or impossible by calculating the rate of Entropy production. Also we have to calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle with the given parameters and then compare that result with the Carnot efficiency calculated with the boiler and condenser temperatures.
