A commercial refrigerator with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at230°C by rejecting its waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18°C at a rate of 0.25 kg/s and leaves at 26°C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 MPa and 65°C and leaves at 42°C. The inlet state of the compressor is 60 kPa and 234°C and the compressor is estimated to gain a net heat of 450 W from the surroundings. Determine the quality of the refrigerant at the evaporator inlet.<image 1> (A) q=0.28 (B) q=0.38 (C) q=0.48 Answer with the option's letter from the given choices directly.
