The figure shows a two-stage, vapor-compression refrigeration system with two evaporators and a direct contact heat exchanger. Saturated vapor ammonia from evaporator 1 enters compressor 1 at 12 lbf/in2 and exits the compressor at 62 lbf/in2.  Evaporator 2 operates at 62 lbf/in2, with saturated vapor exiting at state 8. The condenser pressure is 200 lbf/in2, and saturated liquid refrigerant exits the condenser. Each compressor stage has an isentropic efficiency of 80%. The refrigeration capacity of each evaporator is shown on the figure.     Determine the temperature, in °F, of the refrigerant in evaporator 2.
