Required information Problem 07.025 - DEPENDENT MULTI-PART PROBLEM - ASSIGN ALL PARTS NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. Refrigerant-134a enters the coils of the evaporator of a refrigeration system as a saturated liquid-vapor mixture at a pressure of 140 kPa. The refrigerant absorbs 200 kJ of heat from the cooled space, which is maintained at -10°C, and leaves as saturated vapor at the same pressure. Problem 07.025.c - Total entropy change of the process Determine the total entropy change for this process. The total entropy change for this process is kJ/K.
select if true or false for the following questions 1. For a standard condenser in a refrigeration system, the thermal energy (in J) is equal to the mass (in kg) multiplied by the change in enthalpy across the condenser (in J/kg). 2. Consider a basic refrigeration cycle: Since it requires less work to compress a liquid than a vapor, the entire refrigeration process would work better if the compressor was replaced with a pump. All else being equal, increasing the mass-flow rate of refrigerant will increase the rate of heat transfer at the system’s evaporator. All of these (except, of course, the one labeled, “None of these.”) None of these.
