Example 7-2 A condenser in a large refrigeration unit uses R-134a as a refrigerant. The condenser is cooled by liquid water. The refrigerant enters the condenser at a pressure of 1 MPa and 60 °C and leaves at a pressure of 0.95 MPa and a temperature of 35 °C. The refrigerant flow rate is 0.2 kg/s. The cooling water enters at 10 °C and leaves at 20 °C. Calculate the cooling water flow rate.
