Question
The working fluid of a liquid-vapor cycle is 1kg of R-134a. The cycle operates between two pressures 100kPa
and 1200kPa.
• Process A-B: An isobaric compression at the high pressure to a saturated liquid.
• Process B-C: An iso-entropic process from the high pressure to the low pressure.
• Process C-D: An isobaric expansion at the low pressure to a saturated vapor.
• Process D-A: An iso-entropic process from the low pressure to the high pressure.
a) Make a table of the temperature, pressure, volume, internal energy, enthalpy, entropy and quality factor (T,
P, V, U, H, S & x) at the start of each process.
b) Make a table of the change in internal energy, heat flow, work done, change in enthalpy, and change in
entropy (AU, Q, W, AH, AS) during each leg of the cycle.
c) Draw well-labelled P-V & T-S diagrams (indicating lines of constant pressure, the saturation dome, heat flow,
work, etc.)
d) Calculate the coefficient of performance of the cycle (Q₁ / W).
