Asimple rankine cycle without reheat or boiler feedwater heaters has main steam (turbine inlet) conditions at 1250 psia and 850°f. the turbine exhaust pressure is 2 psia. the turbine and pump efficiency are 72 and 85 percent respectively. what is the cycle efficiency and specific work of the plant?

Heat is added to a piston-cylinder device filled with 2 kg of air to raise its temperature 400 c from an initial temperature of t1 27 cand pressure of pi 1 mpa. the process is isobaric process. find a)-the final pressure p2 b)-the heat transfer to the air.

Afour cylinder four-stroke in-line engine has a stroke of 160mm, connecting rod length of 150mm, a reciprocating mass of 3kg and its firing order is 1-3-4-2. the spacing between cylinders is 100mm. i. show that the engine is in balance with regard to the primary inertia forces and primary 3. a and secondary inertia couples. li determine the out of balance secondary inertia force ii. propose ways of balancing this out of balance force and discuss the challenges that will arise
