Assuming ideal gas behavior, determine the speed of sound

Solution

Introduction

The refrigerant 134a is also known as the tetrafluoroethane is from the family of  HFC refrigerant.This family of refrigerant replaces the CFC and HCFC refrigerants to avoid the damage on ozone layer.

Step 1

        The gas constant of the refrigerant 134a, R= 0.08149 kJ/kg K

        Specific heat ratio at room temperature for R134a, k=1.108

        Temperature , T=600C =60+273 K =333 K
