Refrigerant-134a enters a diffuser steadily as saturated vapor at 700 kPa with a velocity of 150 m/s, and it leaves at 800 kPa and 50°C. The refrigerant is gaining heat at a rate of 5kJ/s as it passes through the diffuser. If the exit area is 70 percent greater than the inlet area, determine (a) the exit velocity and (b) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant.
