Question: 1 0 . 4 8 The Clean Air Act prohibited the production of chlorofluorocarbons ( CFCs ) in the United States as of 1 9

10.48 The Clean Air Act prohibited the production of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the United States as of 1996. One widly used CFC, refrigerant R-12, has been replaced by R-134a in many applications because of their similar properties, including a low boiling point at atmospheric pressure, Tsat=243K and 246.9 K for R-12 and R-134a, respectively. Compare the performance of these two refrigerants under the following conditions. The saturated refrigerant vapor at 310 K is condensed as it flows through a 30-mm diameter, 0.8-m-long tube whose wall temperature is maintained at 290 K . If vapor enters the tube at a flow rate of 0.010kgs, what is the rate of condensation and the flow rate of vapor leaving the tube? The relevant properties of R-12 at Tsat=310K are v=50.1kgm3,hfg=160kJkg, and v=15010-7N*sm2 and those of liquid R-12 at Tf=300K are l=1306kgm3,cp,l=978Jkg*K,l=2.5410-4N*sm2,kl=0.072Wm*K. The properties of the saturated R -134a vapor are v=46.1kgm3,hfg=166kJkg, and n=136107N*sm2
