As shown in the figure, Refrigerant 22 enters the compressor of an air conditioning unit operating at steady state at 40oF, 80 lbf/in2 and is compressed to 160oF, 200 lbf/in2. The refrigerant exiting the compressor enters a condenser where energy transfer to air as a separate stream occurs, and the refrigerant exits as a liquid at 200 lbf/in2, 90oF. Air enters the condenser at 70oF, 14.7 lbf/in2 with a volumetric flow rate of 1500 ft3/min and exits at 110oF. Neglect stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects, and assume ideal gas behavior for the air.
Air at 2.5 bar, 400 K is extracted from a main jet engine compressor for cabin cooling. The extracted air enters a heat exchanger where it is cooled at constant pressure to 350 K through heat transfer with the ambient. It then expands adiabatically to 1.0 bar through a turbine and is discharged into the cabin. The turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 80%. If the mass flow rate of the air is 2.5 kg/s, determine: (a) the power developed by the turbine, in kW. (b) the magnitude of the rate of heat transfer from the air to the ambient, in kW.

In a steady-state operating power plant, saturated liquid H2O at 122 deg C is fed to a boiler at 3.756 m/s through a pipe (0.03 m diameter). It leaves the boiler at 9 bar and 88.7 m/s.

I need help going through the process to solve this problem, I think I have a general idea, but want to make sure I am doing it correctly. A counterflow heat exchanger operates at steady state while being well-insulated from the surroundings with air and ammonia flowing in separate streams. Ammonia enters at state 1 with -30°C and a quality of 30% and exits at state 2 as saturated vapor at -30°C. Air enters at state 3 with pressure 1 bar and temperature 295 K and exits at state 4 with pressure 1 bar and temperature 265 K. The flow rate of air is 10 kg/s.
