Question: ( 3 5 pts . ) A vapor - compression refrigerator utilizes refrigerant - 1 3 4 a ( R - 1 3 4 a

(35 pts.) A vapor-compression refrigerator utilizes refrigerant-134a (R-134a) as the working fluid. The refrigerant flows at steady state through an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion (throttle) valve (see figure). The outlet of the evaporator is Saturated R-134a vapor at T1=-10C. The inlet to the condenser is R-134a at p2=1000kPa and T2=50C. The outlet of the condenser is saturated R-134a liquid at p3=1000 kPa . The compressor operates adiabatically. Use the R-134a tables for R-134a data. Ignore kinetic and potential energy effects. Calculate:
(a) The amount of heat removed from the refrigerated
refrigerated space
space, qL, per kg of R-134a.
(b) The work input to the compressor, w, per kg of R-134a.
(c) The amount of heat rejected to the surroundings, qH, per kg of R-134a.
(d) The coefficient of performance of the refrigerator.
