Determine heat added and net work and thermal efficiency


1 kg of water executes a Carnot power cycle. At the beginning of the isothermal expansion, the water is a saturated liquid at 160°C. The isothermal expansion continues until the volume becomes 0.3 m^3. The temperature at the conclusion of the adiabatic expansion is 20°C. Sketch the cycle on T-s and P-v diagrams. Determine the heat added and net work in KJ, and the thermal efficiency.
