Consider a sealed can that is filled with refrigerant-134a at 8C. Now a leak develops, and the pressure in the can drops to the local atmospheric pressure of 90 kPa. What is the temperature of the refrigerant in the can when the pressure drop is complete
Solution
-29 C is the ans
Solved by EES Software. Solutions can be verified by copying-and-pasting the following lines on a blank EES screen. (Similar problems and their solutions can be obtained easily by modifying numerical values)
T1=25 \"C\" P2=90 \"kPa\" T2=TEMPERATURE(R134a,x=0,P=P2) \"Some Wrong Solutions with Common Mistakes:\" W1_T2=T1 \"Assuming temperature remains constant\"
