Refrigerant-134a enters a compressor at 180 kPa as a saturated vapor with a flow rate of 0.35 m3/min and leaves at 900 kPa. The
power supplied to the refrigerant during the compression process is 2.35 kW. What is the temperature of R-134a at the exit of the compressor
1 answer:
Answer:
52.5°C
Explanation:
The final enthalpy is determined from energy balance where initial enthalpy and specific volume are obtained from A-12 for the given pressure and state
mh1 + W = mh2
h2 = h1 + W/m
h1 + Wα1/V1
242.9 kJ/kg + 2.35.0.11049kJ/ 0.35/60kg
=287.4 kJ/kg
From the final enthalpy and pressure the final temperature is obtained A-13 using interpolation
i.e T2 = T1 + T2 -T1/h2 -h1(h2 - h1)
= 50°C + 60 - 50/295.15 - 284.79
(287.4 - 284.79)°C
= 52.5°C
