Refrigerant-134a is in an insulated canister with temperature 25 C. There is a partition in the canister so the refrigerant is a saturated liquid and takes up 1/100 of the volume of the canister. The rest of the volume is evacuated. When the canister is activated by squeezing (no work done activating) the partition breaks and the refrigerant fills the total volume. Final pressure is 100 kPa. a.) What are two assumptions needed for the problem? What properties are needed to solve part b.) and c.) b.) What is the change in specific enthalpy within the canister? c.) What is the final quality of the refrigerant within the canister?
