4- A cascade refrigeration system of 14 TR uses Freon R-12 at -50 °C evaporating temperature and condensing temperature of -15°C with adiabatic compression efficiency of 85 %. The upper cycle uses NH3 with condensing temperature of 37 °C and compression efficiency of 90 %. The temperature difference between the evaporator of the upper cycle and the condenser of the lower cycle is 10 °C. Calculate the power required for each compressor if the mechanical efficiency is 90% and the C.O.P. of the unit.
