In a vapour compression refrigeration cycle, the refrigerant enters the compressor in saturated vapour state at evaporator pressure, with specific enthalpy equal to 250 kJ/kg. The exit of the compressor is superheated at condenser pressure with specific enthalpy equal to 300 kJ/kg. At the condenser exit, the refrigerant is throttled to the evaporator pressure. The coefficient of performance (COP) of the cycle is 3. If the specific enthalpy of the saturated liquid at evaporator pressure is 50 kJ/kg, then the dryness fraction of the refrigerant at entry to evaporator is ________.

A reversible cycle receives $$40$$ $$kJ$$ of heat from one heat source at a temperature of $${127^ \circ }C$$ and $$37$$ $$kJ$$ from another heat source at $${97^ \circ }C.$$ The heat rejected (in $$kJ$$) to the heat sink at $${47^ \circ }C$$ is ___________

A reversible heat engine receives $$2$$ $$kJ$$ of heat from a reservoir at $$1000$$ $$K$$ and a certain amount of heat from a reservoir at $$800$$ $$K$$. It rejects $$1$$ $$kJ$$ of heat to a reservoir at $$400$$ $$K.$$ The net work output (in $$kJ$$) of the cycle is

An irreversible heat engine extracts heat from a high temperature source at a rate of $$100kW$$ and rejects heat to a sink at a rate of $$50kW.$$ The entire work output of the heat engine is used to drive a reversible heat pump operating between a set of independent isothermal heat reservoirs at $${17^ \circ }C$$ and $${75^ \circ }C$$. The rate (in $$kW$$) at which the heat pump delivers heat to its high temperature sink is
