A heat transformer is a device that transfers a part of the heat, supplied to it at an intermediate temperature, to a high temperature reservoir while rejecting the remaining part to a low temperature heat sink. In such a heat transformer, $$100kJ$$ of heat is supplied at $$350$$ $$K.$$ The maximum amount of heat in $$kJ$$ that can be transferred to $$400K,$$ when the rest is rejected to a heat sink at $$300K$$ is

Which of the following relationships is valid only for reversible process undergone by a closed system of simple compressible substance (neglect changes in kinetic and potential energy?

Water has a critical specific volume of $$0.003155$$ $${m^3}/kg.$$ A closed and rigid steel tank of volume $$0.025{m^3}$$ contains a mixture of water and steam at $$0.1MPa.$$ The mass of the mixture is $$10$$ $$kg.$$ The tank is now slowly heated. The liquid level inside the tank.

Which combination of the following statements is correct?

The incorporation of re-heater in a steam power plant.

$$P:$$ always increases the thermal efficiency of the plant.
$$Q:$$ always increases the dryness function of steam at condenser inlet.
$$R:$$ always increases the mean temperature of heat addition
$$S:$$ always increases the specific work output.
