Question

The specific volume of a system consisting of refrigerant-134a at 1.0 Mpa is 0.01 m /kg. The quality of the R-134a is: (a) 12.6% (b) 68.3% (c) 47.2% (d) Not applicable

Answer 1

Answer:

option c is correct

47.2%

Explanation:

given data

consisting of refrigerant = 134 a

volume V = 0.01 m³/kg

pressure P = 1MPa = 1000 kPa

to find out

quality of the R 134a

solution

we will get here value of volume Vf and Vv from pressure table 60 kpa to 3 Mpa for 1 Mpa of R134 a

that is

Vf = 0.0008701 m³/kg

Vv = 0.0203 m³/kg

so we will apply here formula that is

quality = (V - Vf) / (Vv - Vf)    ............1

put here value

quality = (0.01 - 0.0008701 ) / ( 0.0203 - 0.0008701 )

quality = 0.4698

so quality is 47 %

SO OPTION C IS CORRECT
