A 3m3 rigid, insulated tank that is initially evacuated is connected through a valve to a supply line that carries R-134a at 2 MPa and 90°C. Now the valve is opened, and refrigerant is allowed to flow slowly into the tank until the pressure reaches 2 MPa, at which point the valve is closed. Determine: a. the final temperature of the refrigerant in the tank, and b. the mass of refrigerant in the tank.
A-C line Liquid R-134a A rigid container containing 6.6 kg of saturated liquid R-134a at 24°C is used to fill an air-conditioning system. A valve is opened and allows liquid R-134a to escape the tank into the A-C line until only 0.49 kg of R-134a remains in the tank, at which point the valve is closed. During the process, heat transfer is allowed to occur to maintain the tank temperature at 24°C. What is the quality of the refrigerant inside the tank at the end of the process? What is the total heat transfer for this process? KJ
NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. An adiabatic air compressor compresses 10.4 L/s of air at 120 kPa and 20°C to 1000 kPa and 300°C. The constant pressure specific heat of air at the average temperature of 160°C = 433 K is cp= 1.018 kJ/kg.K. The gas constant of air is R = 0.287 kPa.m³/kg-K. 1 MPa 300°C Compressor 120 kPa 20°C Vus Determine the work required by the compressor. (You must provide an answer before moving on to the next part.) The work required by the compressor is -4.578 kJ/kg.
