NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part.
A commercial refrigerator with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -30°C by
rejecting its waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18°C at a rate of 0.29 kg/s and leaves at 26°C.
The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 MPa and 65°C and leaves at 42°C. The inlet state of the compressor is 60
kPa and -34°C and the compressor is estimated to gain a net heat of 430 W from the surroundings. The heat
exchanger loses no heat to the environment.
