Question: 1 0 . 3 8 A process requires a heat transfer rate of 5 1 0 4 B t u m i n af 1

10.38 A process requires a heat transfer rate of 5104Btumin af 170F. It is proposed that a Refrigerant 134a vaporcompression heat pump be used to develop the process heat using a waste water stream at 125F as the lower-temperature source. Specify appropriate evaporator and condenser pressures of a cycle for this purpose. Let the refrigerant be saturated vapor at the evaporator exit and saturated liquid at the condenser exit. Calculate
(a) the mass flow rate of refrigerant, in lbh.
(b) the compressor power, in horsepower.
(d) the coefficient of performance.
