6.107 Figure P6.107 provides the schematic of a heat pump using
Refrigerant 134a as the working fluid, together with steady-state data
at key points. The mass flow rate of the refrigerant is 7 kg/min, and
the power input to the compressor is 5.17 kW. (a) Determine the co-
efficient of performance for the heat pump. (b) If the valve were re-
placed by a turbine, power could be produced, thereby reducing the
power requirement of the heat pump system. Would you recommend
this power-saving measure? Explain.
