Refrigerant 134a enters a well-insulated nozzle at 200
lbf/in.2, 140°F, with a velocity of 120 ft/s and exits
at 90 lbf/in.2 with a velocity of 1500 ft/s.
For steady-state operation, and neglecting potential energy
effects, determine the temperature, in °F, and the quality of the
refrigerant at the exit.
ANSWER
Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object
due to its motion or due to its position. Mechanical energy can be
either kinetic energy (energy of motion) or potential energy
(stored energy of position). A drawn bow possesses mechanical
energy due to its stretched position (elastic potential
energy).
