An 80-L vessel contains 4 kg of refrigerant-134a at a pressure of 160kPa. Determine (a) the temperature, (b) the quality, (c) the enthalpy of the refrigerant, and (d) the volume occupied by the vapor phase.

temperature -15.6 C, quality x=0.646, enthalpy h=667.20 KJ, volume of vapor phase Vg= 79.8 L

Explanation:

property table for R-134a

https://www.ohio.edu/mechanical/thermo/property_tables/R134a/R134a_PresSat.html

at 160 KPa , temperature = -15.66 C

quality x=mass of vapour/ total mass of liq-vap mixture

alternaternately: x=(v-vf)/(vg-vf)    

v=total volume i.e. volume of container"80L"   80L=0.08 cubic meter

vf=vol of liquid phase  vg=vol of vapor phase vf, vg values at 160Kpa

x=(0.08-0.0007437)/(0.1235-0.0007437)=0.646

enthalpy

h=hf+xhfg          hf, hfg values at 160Kpa

h=hf+xhfg=31.2+0.646(209.9)=166.80 KJ/Kg

for 4Kg R-134a h=m(166.80 KJ/Kg )=667.20 KJ

volume of vapor phase

vg at 160Kpa=0.1235 cubic meter for quality=1.

in this case quality=0.646 , so it will occupy 64.6% space of the vapor phase at quality=1.

vol. of vapor phase=0.646*0.1235=0.0798 cubic meter=79.8 L

this is true
