(b) A Refrigerant-134a (R-134a) with a rate of 0.1 kg/s enters a condenser of a heat pump at 700 kPa and 40C. R-134a leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid with a constant pressure. The rate of heat absorption from the outside air is 15 kW. i) Determine the power consumed by the compressor in kW. ii) Calculate the COP of the heat pump.
