Question: 6 . In the real vapour - compression refrigeration cycle shown below, R - 1 3 4 a exits the evaporator as a saturated vapour

6. In the real vapour-compression refrigeration cycle shown below, R-134a exits the evaporator as a saturated vapour at 180 kPa (Stream 1). The R-134a is compressed in an adiabatic compressor to 1.2 MPa and \(70^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)(Stream 2). The R-134a leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid at 1.2 MPa (Stream 3). The R-134a is throttled back to the evaporator pressure of 180 kPa (Stream 4). The warm surroundings are at \(30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\).
(Changes in kinetic and potential energies can be neglected.)
[9](a) Find the isentropic efficiency of the compressor.
[10](b) Find the total specific entropy generation by the condenser, \( s_{\text {gen }}\) in \(\mathrm{kJ}/(\mathrm{kg}\mathrm{K})\).
[6](c) Find the quality of Stream \(4, x_{4}\).
[7](d) Find the coefficient of performance of the real refrigeration cycle.
[10](e) Draw the refrigeration cycle on a \( T \)-s diagram with respect to saturation lines. Label all streams with numbers; indicate the direction of all streams with arrows. Label both the actual and the isentropic exit streams of the compressor.
[5](f) If the maximum possible coefficient of performance that any refrigerator could have when operating between the same two temperature reservoirs (the warm surroundings at \(30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and the refrigerated space) is 10.66, what is the temperature at which the refrigerated space is kept?
