An insulated vertical cylinder-plunger device contains 0.8 m ^ 3 of refrigerant 134a at 1.2 MPa and 120 ° C. With a linear (compression) spring, all of its force is applied to the plunger at that moment. A valve connected to the cylinder opens and refrigerant escapes. The spring is released as the plunger is lowered, and the pressure and volume drop to 0.6 MPa and 0.5 m ^ 3, at the end of the process. Determine: a) the amount of refrigerant that escaped and b) the final temperature of the coolant

An insulated vertical cylinder-plunger device contains 0.8 m ^ 3
of refrigerant 134a at 1.2 MPa and 120 ° C. With a linear (compression) spring, all of its force is applied to the plunger at that moment. A valve connected to the cylinder opens and refrigerant escapes. The spring is released as the plunger is lowered, and the pressure and volume drop to 0.6 MPa and 0.5 m ^ 3, at the end of the process.
Determine:
a) the amount of refrigerant that escaped and
b) the final temperature of the coolant
