(a) Explanation Write the steady state energy equation for the valve. W ˙ c v + H 2 + m ˙ ( 1 2 V 2 2 + g z 2 ) = Q ˙ c v + H 1 + m ˙ ( 1 2 V 1 2 + g z 1 ) (I) Here, the rate of work flow through the control volume is W ˙ c v , the rate of enthalpy at the exit is H 2 , the velocity of the fluid at exit is V 2 , the datum head of the exit is z 2 , the acceleration due to gravity is g , the rate of heat flow through the control volume is Q ˙ c v , the rate of enthalpy at the entry is H 1 , the mass flow rate is m ˙ , the velocity of fluid at the entry is V 1 and the datum head at the entry is z 1 . There is no heat flow through the control volume that is Q ˙ c v is zero. No work interaction takes place through the control volume that is W ˙ c v = 0 . The flow rate and the datum head at the entry and the exit is same hence, V 1 = V 2 and z 1 = z 2 . Write the expression for the enthalpy rate at the entry. H 1 = m ˙ h 1 Here, the mass flow rate of the fluid is m ˙ and the specific enthalpy is h 1 . Write the expression for the enthalpy rate at the exit. H 2 = m ˙ h 2 Here, the specific enthalpy at the exit is h 2 . Substitute m ˙ h 2 for H 2 , m ˙ h 1 for H 1 , z 1 for z 2 , V 1 for V 2 , 0 for Q ˙ c v and 0 for W ˙ c v in Equation (I) (b) To determine The mass flow rate of the refrigerant.

Heat Exchangers

Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.

Heat Exchanger

The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.
