In a fixed volume, 0.3 m³ container, initially there is refrigerant R-134a at 6 °C. Initially, 60% of the total mass is in the vapor phase and the remainder is in the liquid phase. The vessel is connected via a valve to a pipe through which R-134a flows at 1.2 MPa (1200 kPa) and 110 °C. Then the valve is opened and R-134a fluid flows slowly from the pipe into the container. When the pressure is 1000 kPa, all the refrigerant in the vessel is in the saturated vapor phase and the valve is closed at this point. By finding the final temperature in the container, indicate by thermodynamic analysis whether such a process can take place within the framework of the values given above?

When the pressure is 1000 kPa, all the refrigerant in the vessel is in the saturated vapor phase and the valve is closed at this point. By finding the final temperature in the container, indicate by thermodynamic analysis whether such a process can take place within the framework of the values given above? Note: You can neglect potential and kinetic energy changes
