Air conditioners operate on the same principle as refrigerators. Consider an air conditioner that has 7.00 kgkg of refrigerant flowing through its circuit each cycle. The refrigerant enters the evaporator coils in phase equilibrium, with 54.0%% of its mass as liquid and the rest as vapor. It flows through the evaporator at a constant pressure and when it reaches the compressor 95%% of its mass is vapor. In each cycle, how much heat QcQc is absorbed by the refrigerant while it is in the evaporator? The heat of vaporization of the refrigerant is 1.50105 J/kgJ/kg .
