Question: The above figure provides steady - state data for a throttling valve in series with a heat exchanger. Saturated liquid Refrigerant 1 3 4 a

The above figure provides steady-state data for a throttling valve in series with a heat exchanger. Saturated liquid Refrigerant 134a enters the valve at a pressure of 9 bar and is throttled to a pressure of 2 bar. The refrigerant then enters the heat exchanger, exiting at a temperature of 10C with no significant decrease in pressure. In a separate stream, liquid water at 1 bar enters the heat exchanger at a temperature of 25C with a mass flow rate of 2 kg/s and exits at 1 bar as liquid at a temperature of 15C. Stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. Determine: a) the temperature, in C, of the refrigerant at the exit of the valve. b) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, in kg/s.
The above figure provides steady - state data for
