****PART B ONLY In a standard ideal refrigeration cycle (Fig. 1), the refrigerant 134a enters adiabatically isolated expansion valve as a saturated liquid at a pressure P1 = 1 MPa and leaves the device at a pressure P2 = 100kPa. Then the refrigerant enters the evaporator, where it changes into the saturated vapor. Subsequently, the vapor is compressed in an isentropic compressor to the pressure 1MPa and condensed in the condenser back to the initial saturated-liquid state.

The figure shows a two-stage, vapor-compression refrigeration system with two evaporators and a direct contact heat exchanger. Saturated vapor ammonia from evaporator 1 enters compressor 1 at 12 lbf/in2 and exits the compressor at 62 lbf/in2. Evaporator 2 operates at 62 lbf/in2, with saturated vapor exiting at state 8. The condenser pressure is 200 lbf/in2, and saturated liquid refrigerant exits the condenser. Each compressor stage has an isentropic efficiency of 80%. The refrigeration capacity of each evaporator is shown on the figure. Determine the temperature, in °F, of the refrigerant in evaporator 2.
