A 0.2-m³ rigid tank initially contains saturated refrigerant- 134a at 1.0 MPa and 100percent quality. The tank is connected by a valve to a supply line that carries refrigerant-134a at1.6 MPa and 40°C. The valve is now opened, allowing the refrigerant to enter the tank, and it isclosed when the tank contains only saturated liquid at 1.3 MPa. The refrigerant exchanges heat withits surroundings at 50°C and 100 kPa during this process. Determine (a) the amount of heat transferand (b) the exergy destruction associated with this process.

An ordinary egg can be approximated as a 5.5-cmdiameter sphere. The egg is initially at a uniform temperature of 8°C and is dropped into boiling water at 97°C. Taking the properties of egg to be ρ = 1020 kg/m3 and cp = 3.32 kJ/kg·°C, determine how much heat is transferred to the egg by the time the average temperature of the egg rises to 85°C and the amount of exergy destruction associated with this heat transfer process. Take T0 = 25°C.
A passive solar house that is losing heat to the outdoors at 3C at an average rate of 50,000 kJ/h is maintained at 22C at all times during a winter night for 10 h. The house is to be heated by 50 glass containers, each containing 20 L of water that is heated to 80C during the day by absorbing solar energy.
