It is well established that the thermal efficiency of a heat engine increases as the temperature tl at which heat is rejected from the heat engine decreases. in a effort to increase the efficiency of a power plant, somebody suggests refrigerating the cooling water before it enters the condenser, where heat rejection takes place. would you be in favor of this idea? why?

Amass of 3 kg of saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water is contained in a piston-cylinder device at 150 kpa. initially, 1 kg of the water is in the liquid phase and the rest is in the vapor phase. heat is now transferred to the water, and the piston, which is resting on a set of stops, starts moving when the pressure inside reaches 500 kpa. heat transfer continues until the total volume increases by 20 percent. determine (a)-the initial and final temperatures, (b)-the mass of liquid water when the piston first starts moving, and (c)-the work done during this process. d)-show the process on a p-v diagram. you don't need to indicate p& v values, but clearly indicate where all states are located in the phase diagram.
