How to get h2?
(see pic)
Relevant Equations
isentropic
dH = dQ + Vdp = Tds + Vdp
H = U + pV

h and s can be obtained from "Saturated refrigerant-134a—Pressure table"

however, how to get h2? it is not on the curve, and neither p or dV is given in the question. Thank you

This is table A13, which at P=0.8MPa, s=0.94456, h should be somewhere between 286.71 and 296.82.
However, from the solution, h= 275.39kJ, am I looking at the table in a correct way?
 
Yes you are. Turns out the phys props have changed slightly.
I have an older edition (2002) of cengel and there it matches better.

50284.390.9711

I googled "and operates on an ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cyle between 0.14 and 0.8 MPa" and did indeed find other results too.
