An ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle using refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to cool a brine solution to -5°C. This solution is pumped to various buildings for the purpose of air-conditioning. The refrigerant evaporates at -12.00°C with a total mass low rate of 8.000 kg/s and condenses at 600 kPa. Determine the COP of the cycle and the total cooling load. (Take the required values from saturated refrigerant-134a tables.) The COP of the cycle is [ (Round the final answer to three decimal places.) and the total cooling load is kW.
