A well-insulated expansion/throttle valve is designed to operate with refrigerant R134a. It receives a liquid-gas mixture with a quality of 0.1 and a pressure of 400 kPa. The refrigerant leaves with a pressure of 100 kPa. Find the temperature (in Celsius) and the specific volume (m3 /kg) at the exit of the valve.
