Question: 7 - 7 7 . A stream of 0 . 1 0 lb / s of air enters a thermally insulated heat exchanger, at 5

7-77. A stream of 0.10 lb/s of air enters a thermally insulated heat exchanger, at 50 psia and 0\deg F and is heated to 160\deg F. On the other hand, a mass flow of 0.50 lb/s of 134a refrigerant enters in a saturated vapor state at 300 psia. Disregarding pressure drops, determine (a) the state of the refrigerant at the outlet and its temperature, (b) the variation of air entropy, (c) the variation of entropy of the refrigerant (d) Is the process reversible, irreversible or impossible?
