A commercial refrigeration system with refrigerant R-134a as working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -25 °C by rejecting waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 15 °C as saturated liquid, as shown in Figure Q3, leaves at 30 °C as saturated liquid as well and flow rate is 1080 kg/h. The refrigerant enters the compressor at 500 kPa and leaves at 1.4 MPa and 68 °C. The pressure drop inside the condenser is 86 % and the density is 200 kg/m³. Determine : (i) refrigerant mass flow rate, (ii) compressor power input, (iii) the refrigerant load, (iv) coefficient of performance (COP), and (v) COP Carnot refrigerant system and compressor power input at minimum temperature
