Refrigerant R-134a enters to the compressor of a refrigeration machine at a pressure of 140 kPa and a temperature of -10 °C,  then comes out at a pressure of 1 MPa . Volumetric flow of the refrigerant entering the compressor 0.23 m3 /minute. Refrigerant enters throttling valve at 0.95 MPa pressure and 30 °C,  and comes out the evaporator at -18 °C  as saturated steam. Adiabatic efficiency of the compressor It is 78%. Show the cycle in the T-s diagram. Then calculate: a) Power required to run the compressor   b) The heat withdrawn from the cooled environment in unit time, COPsm=?   c)Between the evaporator and the compressor, pressure drop of the refrigerant and its heat gain.
