Question: ( a ) Expansion valve / capillary tube obstructs flow to trigger phase transition. It is adiabatic and does not involve work, and the enthalpy

(a) Expansion valve/capillary tube obstructs flow to trigger phase transition. It is adiabatic and does not involve work, and the enthalpy remains constant throughout the process. What is the state of R -134a entering the evaporator? State the quality if it is binary mixture. [2 Pts]
(b) What is the coefficient of performance for cooling \((\beta)\)?[6 Pts]
(c) What is the mass flux rate needed for R-134a if this cycle is to cool 10 kg of air (not flowing) from \(30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) to \(25^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) in 10 minutes? Use the ideal gas properties of air. [4 Pts]
