Question

In an air conditioning system running at steady-state, m ̇ = 0.7 kg/s of refrigerant 3

134a in saturated liquid state at 48◦C flow through a throttling valve reducing its pressure

to a value of p4 = 4 bars. The system is shown in Fig. 1. Then the refrigerant flows through

the internal side of a heat exchanger exiting at saturated vapor with p5 = p4. Air enters the

external side of the heat exchanger at T1 = 300 K and exits at T2 = 295 K moved by a fan ̇

Figure 1: Problem 1

that consumes WCV = 0.15 kW. Determine the mass flow rate of the air, in kg/s

1.- (33 pts) In an air conditioning system running at steady-state, m3 = 0.7 kg/s of refrigerant
134a in saturated liquid state at 48°C flow through a throttling valve reducing its pressure
to a value of p4 = 4 bars. The system is shown in Fig. 1. Then the refrigerant flows through
the internal side of a heat exchanger exiting at saturated vapor with p; = P4. Air enters the
external side of the heat exchanger at T1 = 300 K and exits at T2 = 295 K moved by a fan
that consumes Wcv = 0.15 kW. Determine the mass flow rate of the air, in kg/s.
