The high-temperature heat source for a cyclic heat engine is a steady flow heat exchanger where R-134a enters at 80°C, saturated vapor, and exits at 80°C, saturated liquid at a flow rate of 5 kg/*. Heat is rejected from the heat engine to a steady flow heat exchanger where air enters at 150 kPa and ambient temperature 20°C, and exits at 125 kPa, 70°C. The rate of irreversibility for the overall process is 175 kW. Calculate the mass flow rate of the air and the thermal efficiency of the heat engine.
