- During a steady flow process, the pressure of the working substance drops from 200 to 20 psia. The speed increases from 200 to 1000 ft/s. The internal energy decreases by 25 BTU/lb and the specific volume increases from 2 to 10 ft3/lb. Determine the work done per pound of substance (BTU/lb)arrow_forwardA 0.05-m3 rigid tank initially contains refrigerant134a at 0.8 MPa and 100 percent quality. The tank is connected by a valve to a supply line that carries refrigerant-134a at 1.2 MPa and 40°C. Now the valve is opened, and the refrigerant is allowed to enter the tank. The valve is closed when it is observed that the tank contains saturated liquid at 1.2 MPa.
