Question: HW# 7 - 8 ( 1 5 p t A commercial refrigerator with R - 1 3 4 a as the working fluid is used

HW#7-8(15pt A commercial refrigerator with R-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -30C by rejecting its waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18C at 0.25kgs and leaves at 26C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 MPa and 65C and leaves at 42C. The inlet state of the compressor is 60kPa and -34C and the compressor is estimated to gain a net heat of 450 W from the surroundings. Determine (a) the quality of the refrigerant at the evaporator inlet, (b) the refrigeration load, (c) the COP of the refrigerator, and (d) the theoretical maximum (totally reversible) refrigeration load for the same net power input to the system.
