Warehouse uses a refrigeration system (see figure) to keep farm produce at 2 ̊C while the temperature outside the warehouse is 30 ̊C. The produce and the outside air act as thermal reservoirs in this process. Although the warehouse is insulated, it absorbs heat from the surroundings at a rate of 775 kW. The condenser operates at 1.6 MPa and the evaporator operates at 300 kPa. Using ammonia as the working material, answer the following: b) Determine the power requirement of compressor in KW (c) Determine the COP for a Carnot refrigeration cycle (d) Determine the actual COP of the refrigeration cycle
