1. Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at a pressure of 1 bar , a Temperature of 290 K and a velocity of \(6\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\) through an inlet with an area of \(0.1\mathrm{~m}^{2}\). At the exit the pressure is 7 bar , the temperature is 450 K , and the velocity is \(2\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\). Heat transfer from the compressor to its surroundings occurs at a rate of \(180\mathrm{~kJ}/\mathrm{min}\). Assuming idea gas properties, calculate the compressor power requirement in kW. Please cite your source for air property data.
2. Refrigerant 134a enters the throttling valve of a refrigeration cycle as saturated liquid at 0.87 MPa and is reduced in pressure to 0.12 MPa . Determine the fraction of vapor and the temperature of the saturated mixture leaving the valve.
