Answer to Question 1

Plot the system on the PH diagram
Determine the amount of heat picked up in the evaporator by subtracting the enthalpy of the saturated mix entering the evaporator from the enthalpy of the gas leaving the evaporator.

Divide this into the required system capacity to get lbs/min of refrigerant Calculate the required gas volume by multiplying the volume of the gas entering the compressor times the lbs/min
Determine the compressor operating pressures from the condenser and evaporator horizontal lines.
Match compressor volume at the determined operating pressures

Answer to Question 2

The constant quality lines start at the bottom and extend upward toward the critical point located in top center of the saturation curve. These lines represent the percentage of vapor in the saturated refrigerant.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
