Question

In an R717 system one evaporator is to provide 180 kW of refrigeration at -30 C and another
evaporator is to provide 200 kW of refrigeration at 5 C. The system uses two-stage compression with
intercooling and is arranged as shown below: 

The condensing temperature is 40 C. Compute the power required by the
a. low-temperature (-30 C) system (kW)
b. high-temperature (5 C) system (kW)
