An ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle employs refrigerant 134a as the working fluid and operates at a steady state. At the compressor inlet, saturated vapor enters a -20 degrees celcius, and the saturated liquid leaves the condenser at 42 degrees celcius. The mass flow rate of the refrigerant is 0.5 kg/s. Determine: a) The rate of heat rejection from the condenser in kW b) The compressor power in kW c) The coefficient of performance
