A vapor-compression refrigeration system operates on the cycle shown below. The refrigerant is tetrafluoroethane. For the following
set of operating conditions, determine the circulation rate of the refrigerant, the heat-transfer rate in the condenser, the power
requirement, the coefficient of performance of the cycle, and the coefficient of performance of a Carnot refrigeration cycle operating
between the same temperature levels. Use the table containing the properties of saturated 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R134A) and
the PH diagram for tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a).(Include a minus sign if required.)
Vapor-compression refrigeration cycle.
Evaporation T=-6C
Condensation T=26C
(compressor)=0.78
Refrigeration rate =500kJ*s-1
The circulation rate of the refrigerant is kg*s-1.
The heat-transfer rate in the condenser is kJ*s-1.
The power requirement is ,kW.
