Question: ( 1 0 % ) Refrigerant 2 2 enters the compressor of a vapor compression refrigeration cycle as saturated vapor at - 4 0 C

(10%) Refrigerant 22 enters the compressor of a vapor compression
refrigeration cycle as saturated vapor at -40 C with a volumetric flow rate of
50m3min. After compression, the refrigerant enters the condenser and
leaves it at 32 C as saturated liquid. Assuming no pressure drop in the
condenser.
If the isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 90%, find:
a.(5%) The power required by the compressor.
b.(5%) Plot the T-s and P-h diagrams to show the steps in the compressor
and the condenser.
( 1 0 % ) Refrigerant 2 2 enters the compressor
