Question: A room is maintained at 2 5 C using a vapor - compression refrigeration cycle with R - 1 3 4 a as the refrigerant.

A room is maintained at 25C using a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle with R-134a as the refrigerant. Heat is rejected to the condenser by cooling water entering at 20C and exiting at 28C, with a flow rate of 0.13 kg/s. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 MPa and 50C and exits as a saturated liquid. If the compressor consumes 1.9 kW of power, determine:
(a) The refrigeration load in kWh and the coefficient of performance (COP).
(b) The exergy efficiency of the refrigerator and the total exergy destruction in the cycle.
(c) The exergy efficiency and exergy destruction for each component of the cycle.
Take T0=20CT_0=20^\circ\text{C}T0=20C and cp,water=4.18kJ/kg
