Problem 96P
Refrigerant-134a at 400 psia has a specific volume of 0.1144 ft3/lbm Determine the temperature of the refrigerant based on (a) the ideal-gas equation, (b) the van der Waals equation, and (c) the refrigerant tables.
ANSWER:
Step by step solution Step 1 of 3(a)The temperature of the refrigerant-134a from the ideal gas equation is defined as follows. ....equation(1) is the pressure of the refrigerant-134a is the specific volume of the refrigerant-134a is the gas constant of the refrigerant-134aFrom table of “molar mass,gas constants and critical-point properties”,select the gas constant ofthe refrigerant-134a asSubstituting the values in equation(1)Therefore temperature of the refrigerant is
