Refrigerant 134a with quality 0.93 at 120 kPa enters a condenser and leaves it as fully condensed (quality equal to 0). The latent heat is absorbed at constant pressure by 7.8 kg/s of water entering in the device at 14 °C and exiting at 38 °C. Consider the water behaving as incompressible fluid (for which Ah=CAT) with specific heat equal to 4.18 kJ/(kg K). Determine the mass flow rate of the refrigerant in kg/s to 2 decimal places.
