Problem I: Not applicable for 2017 Problem II: In an R-134a vapor-compression home heat pump, R-134A enters the compressor (75% isentropic efficiency) as a saturated vapor at 200 kPa and leaves at 800 kPa. The refrigerant goes through a constant pressure condenser and leaves as a saturated liquid. The refrigerant then goes through an adiabatic expansion valve enters the evaporator as a liquid-vapor mixture. The mass flow rate of refrigerant is 0.1 kg/s. and Cod A. Write the equation for...
