Question: A - Refrigerant-134a initially at -8 o C and a quality of 40% is contained in a 1.2-m 3 tank. Heat transfer to the refrigerant

A - Refrigerant-134a initially at -8 oC and a quality of 40% is contained in a 1.2-m3 tank. Heat transfer to the refrigerant from a source at 50 oC occurs until the pressure reaches 300 kPa. Calculate (a) the total heat transfer, and (b) the total entropy change for this process.

B - A piston-cylinder assembly contains 2 kg of air initially at 100o C and 750 kPa. Heat transfer occurs until the air comes into equilibrium with the surroundings which are maintained at 25oC. During this process, the pressure is kept constant. Assuming that air behaves as an ideal gas with variable specific heats, calculate:

a) the total heat transfer,

b) the total entropy production for the process, and

c) briefly indicate whether the process is feasible and why.
