Questions about Ts diagram cycles The clockwise cycle on a T

Questions about T-s diagram cycles?

The clockwise cycle on a T-S diagram is which cycle? A. Power. B. Refregeration. C. could be either

The counterclockwise cycle on a T-S diagram is which cycle? A. Power. B. Refregeration. C. could be either

Solution

Solution:

The clockwise cycle on a T-S diagram is always power cycles as the work will be done positively on the system.

The counterclockwise cycle on a T-S diagram is always heat pump cycles or refrigeration cycles as the work will be negative as the work will be done by the system.
