How to solve
Problem 5(to be graded):
Two streams of R-134a flow into a non-insulated diffuser. Stream 1 enters at a
pressure of 2 bar and 20C(State 1) with a velocity of 200ms through an area of 0.1
m2 while stream 2 enters as saturated vapor at 2 bar (State 2) with a velocity of 100ms
through an area of 0.05m2. R-134a exits the diffuser at 2.8 bar and 40C(State 3) with
a velocity of 20ms.
(a) Calculate mass flow rate (kgs) of the refrigerant at the exit of the diffuser.
(b) Find area (m2) at the exit of the diffuser.
(c) What is the rate of heat transfer (kW) for the diffuser? Is the heat transfer into or out
of the diffuser?
Answers: (a) Not attached; (b) Not attached; (c)+1374.7 kW
