Obviously hf <h2 <hg, thus the refrigerant exists as a saturated mixture at the exit state and thus
T2 = Tsat = -15.60°C. Then the temperature drop becomes
Throttling
Refrigerant-134a is throttled from the saturated liquid state at 700 kPa
to a pressure of 160 kPa. Determine the temperature drop during this
process and the final specific volume of the refrigerant.
Saturated liquid–vapor mixture of water
A mass of 3 kg of saturated liquid–vapor mixture of water is
contained in a piston–cylinder device at 160 kPa. Initially, 1 kg of
the water is in the liquid phase and the rest is in the vapor phase.
Heat is now transferred to the water, and the piston, which is resting
on a set of stops, starts moving when the pressure inside reaches 500
kPa. Heat transfer continues until the total volume increases by 20
percent.
Determine (a) the initial and final temperatures, (b) the mass of
liquid water when the piston first starts moving, and (c) the work
done during this process.
Also, show the process on a P-v diagram.
