A. increase the bulb pressure and cause the thermostatic expansion valve to open
B. increase the evaporator pressure and cause the thermostatic expansion valve to close
C. decrease the spring pressure and cause the thermostatic expansion valve to open
D. have no effect on the position of the needle (pin) in the seat

What is the temperature of the exiting gas? B) What is the pressure of the exiting gas if the compressor is reversible? C) The work is supplied by a heat engine with an efficiency of 15%. What rate of heat input is required to run the heat engine?

An ideal gas with a heat capacity of CV* = 4R enters an adiabatic, steady-state compressor at T=300 K and P=1 bar with a flow rate of 10 moles per second. The rate at which work is added to the compressor is 40 kilojoules per second.
