Chapter 18, Problem 9RQ
Assume a variable R contains a single number. Write a short piece of MATLAB code that will:
- Generate the message: The The square root of xxxx is yyyy, if R is nonnegalive.
- If R is negative, the code should generate the message: R is negative. The square root of xxxx is YYYYi.
The value of R should be substituted for XXXX, and the value of the square root of the magnitude of R should be substituted for YYYY. Both numbers should be displayed with three decimal places.

The evaporator of a vapor compression refrigeration cycle utilizing R-123 as the refrigerant isbeing used to chill water. The evaporator is a shell and tube heat exchanger with the water flowingthrough the tubes. The water enters the heat exchanger at a temperature of 54°F. The approachtemperature difference of the evaporator is 3°R. The evaporating pressure of the refrigeration cycleis 4.8 psia and the condensing pressure is 75 psia. The refrigerant is flowing through the cycle witha flow rate of 18,000 lbm/hr. The R-123 leaves the evaporator as a saturated vapor and leaves thecondenser as a saturated liquid. Determine the following:a. The outlet temperature of the chilled waterb. The volumetric flow rate of the chilled water (gpm)c. The UA product of the evaporator (Btu/h-°F)d. The heat transfer rate between the refrigerant and the water (tons)
