Question: A two - stage vapour compression refrigeration system ( Fig . 1 ) with R 1 3 4 a as the refrigerant, uses flash chamber

A two-stage vapour compression refrigeration system (Fig.1) with R134a as the refrigerant, uses flash chamber to remove flash gas. The pressure of the condenser and the flash tank are 1.2MPa,0.6MPa respectively. The evaporator temperature is -20C. The states of the refrigerant at the exit of the condenser and the evaporator are saturated. The capacity of the system is 5 TR. Determine (i) refrigeration capacity of the system, (ii) work input to the compressors and the (iii) COP of the system. Show the process on the p-h diagram.
