A reversible power cycle R and an irreversible power cycle I operate between the same hot and cold thermal reservoirs. Cycle I has a thermal efficiency equal to one third the thermal efficiency of R. a. If each cycle receives the same amout of energy by heat transfer from the hot reservor, detrmine which cycle:
1. develops greater net work.
2. discharges greater energy by heat transfer to the cold reservoir

b. If each cycle develops the same net work, determine which cycle:
1. receives greater net energy by heat transfer from the hot reservoir
2. discharges greater energy by heat transfer to the cold reservoir.

Attached below is the missing diagram

answer :

A)   1) Wr > WI,     2) Qc' > Qc

B)   1) QH' > QH,   2) Qc' > Qc

Explanation:

  л = w / QH = 1 - Qc / QH  and  QH = w + Qc

A) each cycle receives same amount of energy by heat transfer

( Given that ; Л1 = 1/3 ЛR )

1) develops greater bet work

WR develops greater work ( i.e. Wr > WI )

2) discharges greater energy by heat transfer

 Qc' > Qc

solution attached below

B) If Each cycle develops the same net work

1) Receives greater net energy by heat transfer from hot reservoir

QH' > QH   ( solution is attached below )

2) discharges greater energy  by heat transfer to the cold reservoir

Qc' > Qc
