Applying the Energy Balance

A well-insulated, rigid tank contains 1.5 kg of Refrigerant 134A, initially a two-phase liquid–vapor mixture with a quality of 60% and a temperature of 0°C. An electrical resistor transfers energy to the contents of the tank at a rate of 2 kW until the tank contains only saturated vapor. For the refrigerant, locate the initial and final states on a Tv diagram and determine the time it takes, in s, for the process.
