A steam power plant operates on the ideal Rankine cycle. In the cycle, the steam enters the turbine at 1000 psia and 1000 o F, the condenser pressure is 1 psia, and the net power produced by is 100 MW. Determine (a) the heat transfer to the water in the boiler
(b) the cycle thermal efficiency.

To save energy, the air supply to a 2000 ft office has been shut off overnight and the room temperature has dropped to 40°f. in the morning, the thermostat is reset to 70°f and warm air at 120 f begins to flov in at 200ft'/min. the air is well mixed within the room, and an equal mass flow of air at room temperature (changing with time) is withdrawn through a return duct. the air pressure is nearly 1 atm everywhere. ignoring heat transfer with the surroundings and kinetic and potential energy effects, estimate how long it takes for the room temperature to reach 70°f. plot the room temperature as a function of time.
