Consider the Circle cycle during which a system undergoes a
clockwise circular
cycle in the T-S plane. The Circle cycle has its center at
temperature Tc and has a radius of
R, where |R| < |Tc|.
(a) Determine the thermal efficiency, ηth, for the Circle cycle.
Simplify your result as far as
possible.
(b) If R is fixed and Tc increases, does ηth increase, stay the
same, or decrease?
(c) If Tc is fixed and R increases, does ηth increase, stay the
same, or decrease?
