Question

R134-a is the working fluid in a refrigeration cycle. The
condenser pressure is 900 kPa and the saturated vapor enters to the
compressor at 200 kPa. The working fluid leaves the condenser at 30 oC.
The mass flow rate of the refrigerant is 6 kg/min.


a- What is the compressor power in kW?
b- Evaluate the coefficient of performance of the cycle.
c- If this cycle operates as a heat pump, what would be the coefficient
of performance of this new cycle

 

This is a Thermodynamics question. Please explain all steps and write nicely. Thanks.
