A quality of water within a piston-cylinder assembly executes a Carnot power cycle. During isothermal expansion, the water is heated from saturated liquid at 50 bar until it is a saturated vapor. The vapor then expands adiabatically to a pressure of 5 bar while doing 364.31 kJ/kg of work.

a. Sketch the cycle on p-v coordinates.
b. Evaluate the heat transfer per unit mass and work per unit mass for each process in kJ/kg.
c. Evaluate the thermal efficiency.
