Example 2:- Refrigerant-134a enters the compressor of a refrigerator as superheated vapor at 0.14 MPa and -10°C at a rate of 0.05 kg/s and leaves at 0.8 MPa and 50°C. The refrigerant is cooled in the condenser to 26°C and 0.72 MPa and is throttled to 0.15 MPa. Disregarding any heat trans fer and pressure drops in the connecting lines between the components; determine (a) the rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space and the power input to the compressor, and (b) the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator.
