Question: A two - evaporator compression refrigeration system as shown in the figure uses refrigerant - 1 3 4 a as the working fluid. The system

A two-evaporator compression refrigeration system as shown in the figure uses refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. The system operates evaporator 1 at 20.0F, evaporator 2 at 29.5F, and the condenser at 120.00 psia. The cooling load of evaporator 1 is double that of evaporator 2. Determine the cooling load of both evaporators per unit of flow through the compressor, as well as the COP of this system. The refrigerant is a saturated liquid at the exit of the condenser and a saturated vapor at the exit of each evaporator, and the compressor is isentropic.(Round the final answers to three decimal places.)
(Take the required values from saturated refrigerant-134a tables.)
In the two-evaporator compression refrigeration system, the refrigerant enters a compressor into a condenser, m 1 plus m 2. From the condenser, the product passes through an evaporator 1, m 1 into a pressure-reducing valve. The valve leads the product into an evaporator 2 and further into a compressor.
please answer: The cooling load of both evaporators per unit mass through the compressor is ?Btu/lbm, and the COP of this system is ?.
