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)
