Answer

$T_2=48.9°C$

Work Step by Step

From table A-12: Inlet ($P_1=180\ kPa$, sat. liquid): $v_1=0.1105\ m³/kg,\ h_1=242.9\ kJ/kg$ The mass flowrate is given by (with $\dot{V}_1=0.35\ m³/min$): $\dot{V}_1=\dot{m}v_1$ $\dot{m}=0.05283\ kg/s$ From the energy balance: $\dot{W}_s+\dot{m}h_1=\dot{m}h_2$ Hence, with $\dot{W}_s=2.35\ kW$, $h_2=287.41\ kJ/kg$ From table A-13: Outlet ($P_2=700\ kPa,\ h_2$): $T_2=48.9°C$
