The figure belows shows three components of an air-conditioning system, where T3 = 115°F and mg = 3lb/s. Refrigerant 134a flows through a throttling valve and a heat exchanger while air flows through a fan and the same heat exchanger. Data for steady-state operation are given on the figure. There is no significant heat transfer between any of the components and the surroundings. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible.

Question
The figure belows shows three components of an air-conditioning system, where T3 = 115°F and ng = 3 lb/s. Refrigerant 134a
flows through a throttling valve and a heat exchanger while air flows through a fan and the same heat exchanger. Data for steady-state
operation are given on the figure. There is no significant heat transfer between any of the components and the surroundings. Kinetic
and potential energy effects are negligible.
