**Problem Statement: Cascade Refrigeration System Analysis**

A cascade refrigeration system consists of two R-134a Vapor Compression Refrigeration Cycles (VCRC) operating between thermal reservoirs at temperatures of 2.48°C and 31.33°C. The two cycles are connected by a heat exchanger, with both chambers operating at a pressure of 500 kPa. 

Your task is to determine the Coefficient of Performance for Refrigeration (COP_R) and the Coefficient of Performance for Heat Pump (COP_HP) for this cycle.
