8-79 A 0.1-m3 rigid tank initially contains refrigerant-134a at 1.2 MPa and 100 percent quality. The tank is connected by a valve to a supply line that carries refrigerant-134a at 1.6 MPa and 30°C. The valve is now opened, allowing the refrigerant to enter the tank, and it is closed when the tank contains only saturated liquid at 1.4 MPa. The refrigerant exchanges heat with its surroundings at 45°C and 100 kPa during this process. Determine a) the mass of the refrigerant that entered the tank and b) the exergy destroyed during this process. | |
