A Brayton-cycle heat engine follows the cycle shown in FIGURE P19.58. The heat input from the burning fuel is $2.0 \mathrm{MJ}$ per cycle. Determine the engine's thermal efficiency by explicitly computing the work done per cycle. Compare your answer with the efficiency that you can determine from Equation 19.21
Calculate the enthalpy of combustion of propene (C3H6) given the following information: the enthalpy of combustion of propane (C3H8) is -2220 kJ mol-1; the enthalpy of combustion of H2 is -286 kJ mol-1; the enthalpy of hydrogenation of propene to propane is -124 kJ mol-1. HINT: draw a cycle! Show work.
