Question:

In a heat pump that uses R-134a as the working fluid, the R-134a enters the compressor at 150 kPa, −10°C at a rate of 0.1 kg/s. In the compressor the R-134a is compressed in an adiabatic process to 1 MPa. Calculate the power input required to the compressor, assuming the process to be reversible.
