Answer

a) $T_2=16.2°F$ b) $\dot{Q}=255.64\ Btu/min$

Work Step by Step

From tables A-11E to A-13E: Inlet ($P_3=20\ psia, x_3=0.3$): $h_3=38.83\ Btu/lbm$ Outlet ($P_4=20\ psia, x_4=1$): $h_4=102.74\ Btu/lbm$ For the R-134a ($\dot{m}_3=4\ lbm/min$): $\dot{Q}=\dot{m}_3(h_4-h_3)$ $\dot{Q}=255.64\ Btu/min$ For air ($P_1=14.7\ psia,\ R=0.3704\ psia.ft³/lbm.°R,\ T_1=550°R,\ \dot{V}_1=200\ ft³/min$, $\ \ \ \ \ \ \ c_p=0.240\ Btu/lbm.°R$): $\dot{m}_1=\frac{P_1\dot{V}_1}{RT_1}$ $\dot{m}_1=14.43\ lbm/min$ $\dot{Q}=-\dot{m}_1c_p(T_2-T_1)$ $T_2=16.2°F$
