A cyclic machine, shown in Fig. P5.56, receives 300 kJ from a 1000-K energy reservoir. It rejects 120 kJ to a 400-K energy reservoir, and the cycle produces 180 kJ of work as output. Is this cycle reversible, irreversible, or impossible? TH= 1000 K Cyclic machine QH = 300 kJ => W = 180 kJ Q₁ = 120 kJ JL T₁ = 400 K Figure P5.56 Find the total entropy generation in Problem 5.56.
