Thermodynamics: A refrigeration unit using Refrigerant-134a is used to maintain a certain space at –15°C. The condenser rejects heat (?H) to cooling water that enters the condenser at 15°C at a rate of 0.2 kg/s and leaves at 35°C (all as saturated liquid water). The superheated refrigerant enters the condenser at 0.8 MPa and 40°C and leaves as a saturated liquid at the same temperature. If the compressor consumes 4.5 kW of power, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, (b) the refrigeration load (?̇L), (c) the COP.

Please help me I'm struggling with this thermodynamics problem.
Q1: A gas refrigeration system using air as the working fluid has a pressure ratio of 5 (see Fig. Q 1). Air enters the compressor at 0°C. The high-pressure air is cooled to C 35o by rejecting heat to the surroundings. The refrigerant leaves the turbine at C 80o and enters the refrigerated space where it absorbs heat before entering the regenerator. The mass flow rate of air is kg/s 4. 0 . Assuming isentropic efficiencies of 8 .0 for the compressor and 85 .0 for the turbine and variable specific heats. Draw accurately the cycle on a T-s diagram with properly labelled property values. Determine (a) the effectiveness of the regenerator, (b) the rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space, (c) the COP of the cycle. Also, determine (d) the refrigeration load and the COP if this system operated on the simple gas refrigeration cycle. Use the same compressor inlet temperature as given, the same turbine inlet temperature as calculated, and the same compressor and turbine efficiencies.…
