Answer to Question 1

Entropy is defined as the ratio of the heat content of the refrigerant to its absolute temperature in degrees Rankine, expressed in terms of Btu per pound per degree

Answer to Question 2

The temperature increases as you move up along a constant enthalpy line in the constant quality area.
