The evaporator (a heat exchanger) in an A/C unit has R-410A entering at -20 °C and a quality of 30% and leaves at the same temperature and a quality of 100%. The COP of the air conditioner is known to be 1.3 and the mass flow rate is given as 0.013 kg/s. Find the power input to the cycle. (Note that, here, the evaporator is the part of the A/C unit that accepts [i.e., withdraws] heat from the room maintained at a cold temperature)

I need help on the following question: The vapour compression cycle (picture provided), utilises the refrigerant R134a flowing at 0.05 kg s-1. Assuming that the compression is adiabatic and reversible. If the actual input power to the compressor is 2 kW, then: 1. You need to determine the theoretical input power to the compressor and the heat transfer (Φ) to theevaporator. Take the enthalpies h1, h2, and h3 to be 238.41, 263.68 and 81.5 kJ kg-1 (use the 'NH3 Refrigeration Table' where you can find online). 2. You need to determine the coefficient of performance based on your answer to the previous question (1). 3. You need to determine the compressors mechanical efficiency.
