An insulated vertical cylinder-piston device contains 0.8 m3 of refrigerant 134a at 1.2 MPa and 120 ° C. With a linear (compression) spring, all of its force is applied to the plunger at that moment. A valve connected to the cylinder opens and refrigerant escapes. The spring is loosened as the plunger is lowered, and the pressure and volume drop to 0.6 MPa and 0.5 m3, at the end of the process. Determine: a) the amount of refrigerant that escaped b) the final temperature of the coolant
