Problem 3 Refrigerant-134a enters a diffuser steadily as saturated vapor 500 kPa with a velocity of 170 m/s, and it leaves at 600 kPa and 50°C. the refrigerant is gaining heat at a rate of 2.5 kJ/s as it passes through the diffuser. If the exit area is 75 percent greater than the inlet area, determine (a) the exit velocity and (b) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant.
