Question
Figure on the right provides steady-state operating
data for an ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle with
Refrigerant 134a as the working fluid. The mass flow rate of
refrigerant is 30.59 lb/min. Sketch the T–s diagram for the
cycle and determine
a) the compressor power, in horsepower.
b) the rate of heat transfer, from the working fluid passing
through the condenser, in Btu/min.
c) the coefficient of performance.
