    The temperature drop is 61.1 °C

    The final specific volume of the refrigerant is 1.236 m^3/kg

    Explanation:

    Initial pressure of refrigerant = 800 kPa = 800/100 = 8 bar

    Final pressure of refrigerant = 140 kPa = 140/100 = 1.4 bar

    From steam table

    At 8 bar, initial saturated temperature is 170.4 °C

    At 1.4 bar, final saturated temperature is 109.3 °C

    Temperature drop = initial saturated temperature - final saturated temperature = 170.4 - 109.3 = 61.1 °C

    Also, from steam table

    At 1.4 bar, specific volume is 1.236 m^3/kg

    Final specific volume of the refrigerant is 1.236 m^3/kg
