Question:

The environmentally safe refrigerant R-142b (see Problem 13.45) is to be evaluated as the working fluid in a portable, closed-cycle power plant. The air-cooled condenser temperature is fixed at 50C, and the maximum cycle temperature is fixed at 180C, because of concerns about thermal stability. The isentropic efficiency of the expansion engine is estimated to be 80%, and the minimum allowable quality of the fluid exiting the expansion engine is 90%. Calculate the heat transfer from the condenser, assuming saturated liquid at the exit. Determine the maximum cycle pressure, based on the specifications listed
