Determine the work input and entropy generation during the compression of steam from 100 kPa to 1 MPa in (a) an adiabatic pump a
nd (b) an adiabatic compressor if the inlet state is saturated liquid in the pump and saturated vapor in the compressor and the isentropic efficiency is 85 percent for both devices.

Answer:
<em>Heat rejected to cold body = 3.81 kJ</em>
Explanation:
Temperature of hot thermal reservoir Th = 1600 K
Temperature of cold thermal reservoir Tc = 400 K
<em>efficiency of the Carnot's engine = 1 - </em><em> </em>
eff. of the Carnot's engine = 1 -
eff = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75
<em>efficiency of the heat engine = 70% of 0.75 = 0.525</em>
work done by heat engine = 2 kJ
<em>eff. of heat engine is gotten as = W/Q</em>
where W = work done by heat engine
Q = heat rejected by heat engine to lower temperature reservoir
from the equation, we can derive that
heat rejected Q = W/eff = 2/0.525 = <em>3.81 kJ</em>
