Could somebody please explain the vapor compression cycle?

[QUOTE="nichmetsa, post: 6172711, member: 661433"] Its because if the fluid is a mixture of vapor and liquid, all the heat that it receives is considered latent heat, so it is only used to change the fluids' state (mixture ratio, in this case increase vapor and decrease liquid), therefore its temperature does not change. No, the internal energy would change if there was a mass flow from the boudary, in this case you could say that this system is in a permanent cycle, it all depends on your initial hypothesis.
