In a conventional refrigeration cycle which uses Freon12 as the refrigerant, the temperature of the evaporating fluid  is -20°C. It leaves the evaporator as saturated vapor at -20°C  and enters the compressor. The pressure in the condenser is 1.30  MPa. The liquid leaves the condenser and enters the expansion  valve at 40"C. It is proposed to modify this cycle by adding a heat exchanger that would superheat the suction vapor to 25°C.  Compare the coefficient of performance of these two cycles. What  is the temperature of the refrigerant entering the expansion valve  with the heat exchanger? For a load of 50kW, determine the  vol ume flow rate for both cycles.
