Question: 3 . There is a heat pump using R - 1 3 4 a that provides 3 2 kJ / s of heat to a

3. There is a heat pump using R-134a that provides 32 kJ/s of heat to a house when it is below freezing outside. Saturated vapor goes into the compressor at 1.4 bar and saturated liquid comes out of the condenser which has a pressure of 7.5 bar. The compressor operates isentropically. Please determine:
a) The mass flow rate (kg/s)
b) The power into the compressor (kW)
c) The coefficient of performance (no units)
d) The amount of heat removed from the cool region (kJ/s)
e) The highest possible temperature of the house (C)
f) Recalculate parts b and c for an isentropic efficiency of 75%
