A refrigerated room is kept at −18◦C by a vapor-compression cycle with R-134a as the refrigerant. Heat is rejected to cooling water that enters the condenser at 14◦C at a rate of 0.35 kg/s and leaves at 22◦C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2MPa and 50◦C and leaves at the same pressure subcooled by 5◦C.

Heat is rejected from the condenser of a heat pump cycle by refrigerant-134a entering at 700 kPa and 50 ◦C at a rate of 105 kg/h and leaves as a saturated liquid.

The heat pump with a power input of 2000 kw draws heat from a heat source at 70° C and gives heat to a boiler. Thanks to the heat given to the boiler, the saturated liquid water entering the boiler at 300 kPa pressure leaves the boiler as saturated steam at 300 kPa (3bar) pressure. Since the performance of the heat pump (y = COPe) is equal to 0.5 times the performance of the Carnot heat pump operating under the same temperature conditions, find the mass flow rate (kg / s) of the water flowing from the boiler. Note: The boiler works according to the open system SASA model. Changes in kinetic and potential energies for the boiler are negligible.
