A flash chamber has R-134A entering with a quality of 0.25 at a pressure of 5 bar. The saturated liquid from the flash chamber goes through a throttling value, an evaporator, and a compressor where it is compressed to 5 bar and 40°C. The saturated vapor from the flash chamber recombines with the remaining refrigerant in an open heat exchanger at a pressure of 5 bar. What are the enthalpy and temperature of the refrigerant exiting the heat exchanger?
Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.
