Transcribed Image Text:**Title: Understanding Basic Heat Exchanger Dynamics**
**Diagram Overview:**
The diagram represents a heat exchanger system involving air and refrigerant R134a.
**System Description:**
1. **Inlet and Outlet Flows:**
- Air enters the heat exchanger at point 1 and exits at point 2.
- Refrigerant R134a enters at point 3 and exits at point 4.
**Given Conditions:**
- **Assumptions:**
- Kinetic energy and potential energy are considered negligible.
- The system is in a steady state.
- **Measurements:**
- **Point 1 (Air Inlet):**
- Pressure (P₁) = 1 Bar
- Temperature (T₁) = 89.6°F
- Volume flow rate (Av₁) = 1 m³/s
- **Point 2 (Air Outlet):**
- Pressure (P₂) = 0.95 Bar
- Temperature (T₂) = 71.6°F
- **Point 3 (Refrigerant Inlet):**
- Pressure (P₃) = 5 Bar
- Quality (x₃) = 0.2
- **Point 4 (Refrigerant Outlet):**
- Pressure (P₄) = 5 Bar
- Temperature (T₄) = 68°F
**Objective:**
- **Determine the following:**
1. Mass flow rate of refrigerant R134a in kg/s.
2. Heat transfer rate between refrigerant R134a and air.
This setup provides a fundamental analysis of a heat exchanger's performance, necessary for understanding thermodynamic processes in cooling and heating systems.
