Refrigerant 134a enters a well-insulated nozzle at 200 lbf/in.2, 200°f, with a velocity of 120 ft/s and exits at 50 lbf/in.2 with a velocity of 1500 ft/s. for steady-state operation, and neglecting potential energy effects, determine the temperature, in °f, and the quality of the refrigerant at the exit.

The first law of thermodynamics states that heat added to a system is neither created nor destroyed but is transformed ⇒ as it changes into other forms of energy.

Astudent creates a model of a closed ecosystem by filling a glass tank half full with water, then adding 10 snails and two small aquatic plants. the next day, all the snails are dead. what is the most likely cause of their death?

(b) the pressure remains constant. (c) there is work done by the gas. (d) there is heat added to the gas. (e) the change in internal energy equals zero.
