Refrigerant 134a enters an insulated diffuser as a saturated vapor at 80°F with a velocity of 1400 ft/s. The inlet area is 1.4 in². At the exit, the pressure is 400 lbf/in² and the velocity is negligible. The diffuser operates at steady state and potential energy effects can be neglected. Determine the mass flow rate, in lb/s, and the exit temperature, in °F. Step 1 Determine the mass flow rate, in lb/s. m = i lb/s.

Determine the mass flow rate, in lb/s, and the exit temperature, in °F. Step 1 Your answer is correct. Determine the mass flow rate, in lb/s. m = 28.887 Hint Step 2 * Your answer is incorrect. Ib/s. Determine the exit temperature, in °F. T2=₁276.3 °F Attempts: 1 of 4 used

Liquid octane enters an internal combustion engine operating at steady state with a mass flow rate of 0.004 lb/sand is mixed with the theoretical amount of air. The rate of heat transfer is 22.22 BTU/s. If the density of octane is 5.88 lb/gal, how many gallons of fuel would be used in 2 h of continuous operation of the engine?
