As shown in the figure below, two reversible cycles arranged in series each produce the same net work, Weycle The first cycle receives energy QH by heat transfer from a hot reservoir at TH= 1500°R and rejects energy Q by heat transfer to a reservoir at an intermediate temperature, T. The second cycle receives energy Q by heat transfer from the reservoir at temperature T and rejects energy Qc by heat transfer to a reservoir at Tc-500°R. All energy transfers are positive in the directions of the arrows. Determine: Hot reservoir at TH Reservoir at T and R1 we w R2 lc Cold reservoir at Te W cycle cycle (a) the intermediate temperature T, in °R, and the thermal efficiency for each of the two power cycles. (b) the thermal efficiency of a single reversible power cycle operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 1500°R and 500°R, respectively. Also, determine the ratio of the network developed by the single cycle to the net work developed by each of the two cycles, Wode
