Question
a) A rigid recovery cylinder has a volume of 0.02 m³, contains Refrigerant R-134a as
shown in Figure Q1. Initially, the density and temperature of the refrigerant are
85 kg/m3 and 48°C, respectively. Due to heat transfer to the refrigerant, its pressure
and temperature were observed to increase until it becomes saturated vapor. Show
the process on a T-v diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine,
i) the final temperature of the refrigerant, °C,
ii) the heat transfer to the refrigerant, kJ.

b) The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) has specified that the
temperature of recovered refrigerant inside the rigid recovery cylinder must not
exceed 52°C for safety reasons. To satisfy this requirement, the saturated vapor in part
a) above needs to be cooled to a mixture at 52°C by removing heat from the
refrigerant. Determine the amount of heat (kJ) that needs to be removed from the
refrigerant.
