Find the value of critical internal pressure that leads to fracture. (Hint: Consider the stress state present in the absence of the crack for an internally pressurized thick walled cylinder, given below.) State clearly all the assumptions you make, with justification. Does your assumption under or overestimate the pressure level

Refrigerant 134a enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state as saturated vapor at -26°c with a volumetric flow rate of 0.18 m3/s. refrigerant exits at 9 bar, 70°c. changes in kinetic and potential energy from inlet to exit can be ignored. determine the volumetric flow rate at the exit, in m3/s, and the compressor power, in kw.
