A Carnot vapor refrigeration cycle operates between thermal reservoirs at 7°C and 28°C. The working fluid is saturated vapor at the end of the compression process and saturated liquid at the beginning of the expansion process. Determine the operating pressures in the condenser and evaporator, in bar, and the coefficient of performance for each of the following as the working fluid.
