Consider an ideal ericsson cycle with air as the working fluid executed in a steady-flow system. air is at 27°c and 110 kpa at the beginning of the isothermal compression process, during which 150 kj/kg of heat is rejected. heat transfer to air occurs at 950 k. the gas constant of air is r = 0.287 kj/kg·k.
a.)the maximum pressure in the cycle is? kpa
b.)the net work output per unit mass of air is? kj/kg
c.)the thermal efficiency of the cycle is? %.
