A refrigerator working on Carnot cycle uses R134a as the working fluid. The refrigerant changes from saturated vapor to saturated liquid at 30 C° in the condenser as it rejects heat. The evaporator pressure is 120 kPa. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram relative to saturation lines, and determine (a) COP F (b) Amount of heat absorbed from the refrigerated space, and (c) Consumed work.
