Based on the calculations, the amount of heat transferred is equal to 2,317 kJ.

Given the following data:

Volume of tank = 0.4 m³.

Initial pressure = 160 kPa.

Final pressure = 600 kPa.

Initial quality, x = 40% = 0.4

How to calculate the amount of heat transferred?

From the superheat table A-12, the specific volumes of the saturated liquid and vapor at 160 kPa are:

  • Vf(160 kPa) = 0.0007437 m³/kg.
  • Vg(160 kPa) = 0.12348 m³/kg.

Next, we would determine the initial specific volume by using this formula:

V₁ = (1 - x)Vf + xVg

V₁ = (1 - 0.4)0.0007437 + (0.4)0.12348

V₁ = 0.049838 m³/kg.

Also, we would find the mass of this refrigerant at the initial state by using this equation:

m = V/V₁

m = 0.4/0.049838

Mass, m = 8.03 kg.

From the superheat table A-12, the internal energy of the saturated liquid and vapor at 160 kPa are:

  • Uf(160 kPa) = 31.09 kJ/kg.
  • Ug(160 kPa) = 221.35 kJ/kg.

At the initial state, we would find U₁ from the quality:

U₁ = (1 - x)Uf + xUg

U₁ = (1 - 0.4)31.09 + (0.4)221.35

U₁ = 107.19 kJ/kg.

From the superheat table A-13, the final specific volume and internal energy of the saturated liquid and vapor at 600 kPa are:

  • Vf = 0.057006 m³/kg.
  • Uf = 367.81 kJ/kg.

At the final state, we would find U₂ by extrapolating with the last two points in the table:

[tex]U_2 = 357.96 + (\frac{367.81 \; - \; 357.96}{0.057006\;-\;0.055522}) \times (0.049838\;-\;0.055522)\\\\U_2 = 357.96 + (\frac{9.85}{0.001484}) \times (-0.005684)\\\\U_2 = 357.96 + 37.73\\\\[/tex]

U₂ = 395.69 kJ/kg.

Now, we can calculate the amount of heat transferred:

Q = m(U₂ - U₁)

Q = 8.03(395.69 - 107.19)

Q = 8.03(288.5)

Q = 2,316.66 ≈ 2,317 kJ.
