Question:

A vertical cylinder/piston contains R–22 at −20°C, 70% quality, and the volume is 50 L, shown in Fig. P8.138. This cylinder is brought into a 20°C room, and an electric current of 10 A is passed through a resistor inside the cylinder. The voltage drop across the resistor is 12 V. It is claimed that after 30 min the temperature inside the cylinder is 40°C. Is this possible?
