2.(20 points) A 20-ft3 rigid tank contains superheated R-134a vapor at 160 psia and 120F. The refrigerant is now cooled at constant volume until the pressure drops to 50 psia , where it is in the process of condensing.
**DO NOT TREAT THE REFRIGERANT AS AN IDEAL GAS!!
a) Show this process on the P-v diagram given below.
b) Determine the total mass (in lbm) of refrigerant.
c) Calculate the quality at the final state.
d) How much refrigerant has condensed (in lbm)?
