Each line of the following table gives data, in Btu, for a process of a closed system. Determine
the missing table entries, in Btu.

Process Q W E1 E2 ΔE
a +40 +15 +15
b +5 +7 +22
c -4 +10 -8
d -10 -10 +20
e +3 -3 +8

Process ΔE


Q W E1 E2
a +40 25 +15 +30 +15
b +20 +5 +7 +22 +15
c -4 +10 +6 -8 -14 ΔE = Q - W
d -10 -30 -10 +10 +20
e +3 -3 +8 +14 +6

Process a:
W = Q - ΔE = +40 – (+ 15) = 25 Btu
ΔE = E2 – E1
E2 = ΔE + E1 = +15 + (+15) = +30 Btu

Process b:
ΔE = E2 – E1 = 22 – 7 = +15 Btu
Q = ΔE + W = +15 + 5 = +20 Btu

Process c:
ΔE = Q – W = (-4) – (10) = -14 Btu
E1 = E2 – ΔE = (-8) – (-14) = 6 Btu

Process d:
W = Q – ΔE = (-10) – (+20) = -30 Btu
ΔE = E2 – E1
E2 = ΔE + E1 = +20 + (-10) = +10 Btu

Process e:
ΔE = Q – W = +3 – (-3) = +6 Btu
E2 = ΔE + E1 = (+6) + (+8) = +14 Btu

Process 1-2: Compression with pV = constant, W12 = -104 kJ,

U1 = 512 kJ, U2 = 690 kJ
Process 2-3: W23 = 0, Q23 = -150 kJ
Process 3-1: W31 = +50 kJ
Problem 2.83

For a power cycle operating as in fig. 2.17a, Qin = 17 x 106 Btu and Qout = 12 x 106 Btu.
Determine Wcycle, in Btu, and η.

Wcycle = Qcycle = Qin – Qout

= (17 x 106) – (12 x 106) = 5 x 106 Btu

Qin = 17 x 106 Btu

η= = = 0.294 (29.4%)

Alternatively

Qout = 12 x 106 Btu η=1 =1 = 0.294

A heat pump requires 10.5 kW work input, and the input rate of heat transfer is Qin = 26.25 kW.
Calculate the heat output rate Qout and the coefficient of performance .
