A refrigerator operating on the vapor-compression refrigeration cycle using refrigerant-134a as the refrigerant is considered. The temperatures of the cooled space and the ambient air are at 10°F and 80°F, respectively. R-134a enters the compressor at 20 psia as a saturated vapor and leaves at 140 psia and 160°F. The refrigerant leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid. The rate of cooling provided by the system is 45,000 Btu/h. Determine (a) the mass flow rate of R-134a and the COP, (b) the exergy destruction in each component of the cycle and the second-law efficiency of the compressor, and (c) the second-law efficiency of the cycle and the total exergy destruction in the cycle.

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.
