Chapter 10, Problem 16RQ
A technician takes the following readings on an R-404A refrigeration system:
Head pressure = 205 psig
Suction pressure = 30 psig
Condenser outlet temperature = 80°F
Evaporator outlet temperature = 10°F
Using the pressure/temperature chart in Figure 10.25, find the condenser subcooling and evaporator superheat amounts.

General types of Expansion device and Condenser used in a refrigeration system ?
Steam is supplied to a two-stage turbine at 48 bar and 400 °C. It expands in the first
turbine until it is just dry saturated, then it is re-heated to 400 °C and expanded
through the second-stage turbine. The condenser pressure is 0.04 bar.

What is the formula number according to file 2 to find the specific enthalpy at phase
6?
Ifo
To produce more power the upper management decided to modify the power plant by placing the stage
2 as a saturated liquid stage. The condenser site was planned to leave as it is with the same parameters.
The flow rates stays the same. See the figure below for the data. Again, this an ideal case: S2-S1; S3=S4.
