Question: 2 . ( 2 5 points ) A piston - cylinder device initially contains refrigerant R - 1 3 4 a at 1 . 5

2.(25 points) A piston-cylinder device initially contains refrigerant R-134a at 1.5 MPa , superheated by \(5^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). Now, the refrigerant loses heat to the surroundings and the piston moves down hitting a set of stops at which point the cylinder contains saturated \( R \)-134a in vapor state only. The cooling continues until the cylinder contains R-134a at \(46^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). Determine (a) the initial temperature, (b) the enthalpy change per unit mass of the refrigerant by the time the piston first hits the stops, (c) the final pressure and the quality (if mixture), and (d) show the process on a T-v diagram.
