A 0.75m3 tank of R-134a is initially at 150 kPa and 40% quality is heated, which results in the final pressure being 550 kPa . Determine the mass of the refrigerant, the final temperature, and the amount of heat added.
As you should see, the final state will be a superheated vapour and finding T and u will require a double interpolation (which you did previous with viscosity tables in FMEC 100). You are to interpolate the values in two ways and comment on why the values are different.
Interpolate T and u values at 500 kPa and 600 kPa based on the specific volume and then interpolate the values based on 550 kPa .
Interpolate v and u values based on 550 kPa at a few temperatures (the results from 1 gives a hint to which temperatures). Then interpolate T and u based on the specific volume.
For the heat added calculation, use results from interpolation 1.
