Question 5 Heat is to be transferred to Refrigerant 134a by flowing it through a long horizontal pipe at steady state. The pipe has an inner diameter of 5 cm. When refrigerant saturated vapour flows in at 20 kg/min and -6 °C, while exits at 800 kPa, the heat transfer rate to the refrigerant was found to be 3.5 kW. Assume an exit temperature in the range of 80 - 100°C and determine the percentage error between that assumed value...
