Question: A refrigeration system operates under an ideal vapor compression cycle and heat is removed from a region at - 4 C and at the compressor

A refrigeration system operates under an ideal vapor compression cycle and heat is removed from a region at -4C and at the compressor outlet it reports a pressure of 1 MPa. Then the same system is made to work, but with an evaporator outlet temperature of -8C and a compressor outlet pressure of 1.2 MPa. Consider R-134a as the refrigerant fluid
Make and/or calculate with support and interpretation
1. Diagram indicating data, flow numbering, devices and T vs S Diagram
2. Mass balance and energy balance in each of the devices supporting the considerations you make.
3. Heat absorbed (Q), work (W), COP under the initial operating conditions
4. Heat absorbed (Q), work (W), COP under the new operating conditions
