The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics 

Refrigerant-134a enters a diffuser steadily as saturated vapor 500 kPa with a velocity of 170 m/s, and it leaves
at 600 kPa and 50C. the refrigerant is gaining heat at a rate of 2.5 kJ/s as it passes through the diffuser. If
the exit area is 75 percent greater than the inlet area, determine

(a) the exit velocity 

(b) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant.
