Question: Current Attempt in Progress Refrigerant 1 3 4 a is compressed from 3 bar, saturated vapor, to 1 0 b a r , 9 0

Current Attempt in Progress
Refrigerant 134a is compressed from 3 bar, saturated vapor, to 10bar,90C in a compressor operating at steady state. The mass flow
rate of refrigerant entering the compressor is 7kgmin, and the power input is 10.85 kW . Kinetic and potential energy effects can be
neglected.
(a) Determine the rate of heat transfer for the compressor, in kW . Note that heat transfer is positive going into the compressor.
(b) If the heat transfer occurs at an average surface temperature of 50C, determine the rate of entropy production, in kWK.
(c) Determine the rate of entropy production, in KWK, for an enlarged control volume that includes the compressor and its immediate
surroundings such that the heat transfer occurs at 300 K .
Part A
