Question

A water-cooled condenser in a large refrigeration system uses R-134a as its refrigerant fluid. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.0 MPa and 60 deg C, at a rate of 0.2 kg/s, and exits as a liquid at 0.95 MPa and 35 deg C. Cooling water enters the condenser at 10 degC and exits at 20 degC.

Create a schematic representation of the condenser and draw the boundary of the system needed to answer the next questions. Include the mass and energy interactions across the boundary.
