A vapor-compression refrigeration cycle with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid operates between pressure limits of 240 and 1600 kPa. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 78%. The refrigerant is superheated by 5.4 °C at the compressor inlet and subcooled by 5.9 °C at the exit of the condenser. Determine (a) the heat absorption in the evaporator, (b) the heat rejection in the condenser, (c) the work input, and (d) the COP. (e) Also determine all parameters if the cycle operated on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle between the same pressure limits.
A refrigerator uses refrigerant-134a as the working fluid and operates on the vapor-compression refrigeration cycle. The evaporator and condenser pressures are 100 kPa and 1400 kPa, respectively. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 88 percent. The refrigerant enters the compressor at a rate of 0.022 kg/s superheated by 26.37°C and leaves the condenser subcooled by 4.4°C.

1) Determine the rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space
2) The rate of heat rejection from the refrigerant to the environment
