A reheat-regenerative engine receives steam at 207 bar and 59.3 °C, expanding it to 38.6 bar, 343°C. At this point the steam passes through a reheater and reenters the turbine at 34.5 bar. 593°C, hence expands to 9 bar, 492°C, at which point the steam is bled for feedwater heating. Exhaust occurs at 0.07 bar. Beginning at the throttle (point 1) enthalpies are known (in kJ/kg).
An ideal reheat turbine with one-stage of reheat receives steam at 8.0 MPa, 480 °C. Reheat pressure is 0.83 MPa and exhaust pressure is 0.007 MPa. The work is 1559 kJ/kg and the thermal efficiency is 41.05%. Find the temperature of the steam leaving the reheater.
Expand 2 kg of steam at 15 bar, 320°C, into the wet region to 100°C in a polytropic process where pv1.21 = C. Determine (a) y2, (b) ΔH, (c) ΔS, (d) nonflow and steady flow work, and (e) Q.

2. Find the distance between the given line 4x – 3y = 12 and 4x – 3y + 8 = 0. lines.
A rigid tank contains air at 1.5 bar and 600C. The pressure of air is raised
to 2.5 bar by transfer if heat from a constant temperature reservoir at
4000C. The temperature of the surroundings is 270C. Determine per kg of
air, the loss of available energy due to heat transfer.
