**Refrigeration Cycle Analysis of R-134a in a Household Refrigerator**Refrigerant 134-a enters the evaporator coils placed at the back of the freezer section of a household refrigerator at 100 kPa with a quality of 20 percent and leaves at 100 kPa and -26°C, as shown in Figure 2. If the compressor consumes 600 W of power and the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the refrigerator is 1.2, determine:- The mass flow rate of the refrigerant- The rate of heat rejected to the kitchen air### System Description and DiagramFigure 2 illustrates the refrigeration cycle with key components: the evaporator, compressor, condenser, and expansion valve. The refrigerant flow path and energy interactions are shown in the schematic.1. **Evaporator**: - **Inlet Conditions**: 100 kPa, 20% quality - **Outlet Conditions**: 100 kPa, -26°C - **Heat Absorption**: \( Q_L \) 2. **Compressor**: - Consumes electrical power \( W_c = 600 \text{ W} \) 3. **Condenser**: - **Heat Rejection**: \( Q_H \) 4. **Expansion Valve**: - Expansion process is assumed to be isenthalpic.### COP and Performance CalculationsThe COP of the refrigerator is given as 1.2. The COP for a refrigeration cycle is defined as:\[ \text{COP} = \frac{Q_L}{W_c} \]Where \( Q_L \) is the heat absorbed by the refrigerant in the evaporator and \( W_c \) is the work input to the compressor.### Calculation Steps1. **Determine Heat Absorbed \( Q_L \)**: Using the given COP and compressor work: \[ Q_L = \text{COP} \times W_c \] \[ Q_L = 1.2 \times 600 \text{ W} \] \[ Q_L = 720 \text{ W} \]2. **Mass Flow Rate**: The mass flow rate can be calculated using the refrigerant properties and the heat absorbed in the evaporator. The enthalpy values at the specific states are needed (which can be obtained from refrigerant tables for

Q1.2 Consider a two-stage compression refrigeration system operating between the pressure limits of 0.8and0.14 MPa(see Fig. Q 2). The working fluid isrefrigerant -134a. The refrigerant leaves thecondenser as a saturated liquid and is throttled to aflash chamberoperating at0.4 MPa. Part ofthe refrigerant evaporates during this flashing process, and this vapour is mixed with the refrigerantleaving the low-pressure compressor. The mixture is then compressed to the condenser pressure bythe high-pressure compressor. The liquid in the flash chamber is throttled to the evaporator pressure,and it cools the refrigerated space as it vaporizes in the evaporator. Assuming the refrigerant leavesthe evaporator as saturated vapor and both compressors are isentropic, determine(a) the coefficient of performance (COP).Re-draw the schematic diagram and sketch the cycle accurately on a T-s diagram with the propertyvalues labelled at all state points.
