A-C line Liquid R-134a A rigid container containing 6.6 kg of saturated liquid R-134a at 24°C is used to fill an air-conditioning system. A valve is opened and allows liquid R-134a to escape the tank into the A-C line until only 0.49 kg of R-134a remains in the tank, at which point the valve is closed. During the process, heat transfer is allowed to occur maintain the tank temperature at 24°C. What is the quality of the refrigerant inside the tank at the end of the process? What is the total heat transfer for this process? KJ

A 0.05-m3 rigid tank initially contains refrigerant134a at 0.8 MPa and 100 percent quality. The tank is connected by a valve to a supply line that carries refrigerant-134a at 1.2 MPa and 40°C. Now the valve is opened, and the refrigerant is allowed to enter the tank. The valve is closed when it is observed that the tank contains saturated liquid at 1.2 MPa. Determine the amount of heat transfer.
A student living in a 4 - m 5 - m 3 - m dormitory room turns on her 100 - W fan before she leaves the room on a summer day, hoping that the room will be cooler when she comes back in the evening. Assuming all the windows are tightly closed and disregarding any heat transfer through the walls and the windows, determine the temperature in the room when she comes back 8 h later. Use specific heat values at room temperature, and assume the room to be at 100 kPa and 20 ° C in the morning when she leaves.
Consider a rigid vessel that is initially empty, connected by a valve to a feed line of water at 1 MPa and 280 degrees centigrade. The valve is then opened and the water flows slowly into the container until it reaches pressure P2 and the valve is closed. Determine the final temperature (T2) of the steam in the container in the following interval 0.45Mpa < P2< 1.75 Mpa and a heat loss of 51.6 Kj/Kg
A 0.8-m3 rigid tank contains carbon dioxide (CO2) gas at 250 K and 100 kPa. A 500-W electric resistance heater placed in the tank is now turned on and kept on for 40 min, after which the pressure of CO2 is measured to be 175 kPa. Assuming the surroundings to be at 300 K and using constant specific heats, determine the net amount of heat transfer from the tank.
An air-conditioning system is to be filled from a rigid container that initially contains 5 kg of liquid R-134a at 24°C. The valve connecting this container to the airconditioning system is now opened until the mass in the container is 0.25 kg, at which time the valve is closed. During this time, only liquid R-134a flows from the container. Presuming that the process is isothermal while the valve is open, determine the final quality of the R-134a in the container and the total heat transfer.
Consider a 50-L evacuated rigid bottle that is surrounded by the atmosphere at 95 kPa and 27°C. A valve at the neck of the bottle is now opened and the atmospheric air is allowed to flow into the bottle. The air trapped in the bottle eventually reaches thermal equilibrium with the atmosphere as a result of heat transfer through the wall of the bottle.
A 5-ft3 rigid tank initially contains refrigerant-134a at 60 psia and 100 percent quality. The tank is connected by a valve to a supply line that carries refrigerant-134a at 140 psia and 80F. The valve is now opened, allowing the refrigerant to enter the tank, and is closed when it is observed that the tank contains only saturated liquid at 100 psia. Determine (a) the mass of the refrigerant that entered the tank, (b) the amount of heat transfer with the surroundings at 708F, and (c) the entropy generated during this process.
Chickens with an average mass of 2.2 kg and average specific heat of 3.54 kJ/kg·°C are to be cooled by chilled water that enters a continuous-flow-type immersion chiller at 0.5°C and leaves at 2.5°C. Chickens are dropped into the chiller at a uniform temperature of 15°C at a rate of 250 chickens per hour and are cooled to an average temperature of 3°C before they are taken out. The chiller gains heat from the surroundings at 25°C at a rate of 150 kJ/h. Determine the rate of heat removal from the chickens, in kW.

In large compressors, the gas is often cooled while being compressed to reduce the power consumed by the compressor. Explain how cooling the gas during a compression process reduces the power consumption.
Electric heating systems used in many homes consist of a simple duct with resistance heaters. As it flows over the resistance wires, the air is heated. Consider a 25 kW electric heating system. Air enters the heating section with an air flow rate of 120 m3 / min at 100 kPa and 12 ° C. If 150 W of heat is lost from the air in the duct to the environment, determine the exit temperature of the air.
