Question
An air-conditioning system is shown in the figure below in which air flows over tubes carrying Refrigerant 134a. Air enters with a volumetric flow rate of (AV)1 = 130 m3/min at 32°C, 1 bar, and exits at 22°C, 0.95 bar. Refrigerant enters the tubes at 5 bar with a quality of 20% and exits at 5 bar, 20°C.
 
Ignoring heat transfer at the outer surface of the air conditioner, and neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine at steady state:

(a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, in kg/min.

(b) the rate of heat transfer, in kJ/min, to the air from the refrigerant.
