A piston-cylinder device contains 5 kg of refrigerant-134a at 0.7 MPa and 60°C. The refrigerant is now cooled at constant pressure until it exists as a liquid at 24°C. If the surroundings are at 100 kPa and-24°C, determine:
(a) the exergy of the refrigerant at the initial and the final states and
(b) the exergy destroyed during this process.

A) The exergy of the refrigerant at the initial and final states are :

  • Initial state =  - 135.5285 kJ
  • Final state =  -51.96 kJ

B) The exergy destroyed during this process is : - 1048.4397 kJ

Given data :

Mass ( M )  = 5 kg

P1 = 0.7 Mpa = P2

T1 = 60°C = 333 k

To = 24°C = 297 k

P2 = 100 kPa

A) Determine the exergy at initial and final states

At initial state :

U = 274.01 kJ/Kg , V = 0.034875 m³/kg , S = 1.0256 KJ/kg.k

exergy ( Ф ) at initial state = M ( U + P₂V - T₀S )

                                           = 5 ( 274.01 + 100* 10³ * 0.034875 - 297 * 1.0256)

                                           ≈ - 135.5285 kJ

At final state  :

U = 84.44 kJ / kg , V = 0.0008261 m³/kg,  S = 0.31958 kJ/kg.k

exergy ( ( Ф ) at final state = M ( U + P₂V - T₀S )

                                             = -51.96 kJ

B) Determine the exergy destroyed

  exergy destroyed = To * M ( S2 - S1 )

                                 = 297 * 5 ( 0.31958 - 1.0256 )

                                 = - 1048.4397 KJ

Hence we can conclude that A) The exergy of the refrigerant at the initial and final states are : Initial state =  - 135.5285 kJ, Final state =  -51.96 kJ  and The exergy destroyed during this process is : - 1048.4397 kJ
