Refrigerant 134-a contained in a piston-cylinder assembly rapidly expands from an initial state where T1 and the quality, x2, is (a) 99%, or (b) 95%. In each case, determine if the process can occur adiabatically. If yes, determine the work, in Btu/lbm, for an adiabatic expansion between these states. If no, determine the direction of the heat transfer. 140°F, pi = 200 lbf/in? to a final state where p2 5 lbf/in?

Work and Heat Transfer

It is generally related to thermal engineering which tells about the use, creation, conversion and transfer of heat energy between the systems. It is also considered that to transfer heat from one source to another, transfer of masses is also required. There are various mechanisms by which, transfer of heat takes place i.e. thermal conduction, convection, radiation or by change of phase. All these mechanisms have their own specific features which sometimes occur simultaneously within the same system.
