A piston-cylinder device contains 8 kg of refrigerant- 134a at 0.7 MPa and 60°C. The refrigerant is now cooled at constant pressure until it exists as a liquid at 20°C. If the surroundings are at 100 kPa and 20°C, determine (a) the exergy of the refrigerant at the initial and the final states and (b) the exergy destroyed during this process.
