In a container with a fixed volume of 0.5 m3, initially there is refrigerant -134a at a pressure of 200 kPa and a dryness fraction of 40%. Later, heat is transferred from a source at 35°C to the refrigerant until its pressure rises to 400 kPa. Calculate the entropy changes of the system, the surroundings, and the universe during the phase change.
