Question: I need hand calculations for this question Problem 4 : A two - stage compression refrigeration system with an adiabatic liquid - vapor separation unit

I need hand calculations for this question Problem 4:
A two-stage compression refrigeration system with an adiabatic liquid-vapor separation unit as shown in Figure below uses R-134a as the working fluid. The system operates the evaporator at \(-32^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), the condenser at 1400 kPa , and the separator at \(8.9^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). The refrigerant is circulated through the condenser at a rate of \(2\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{s}\). The refrigerant is assumed to be subcooled by \(5^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) at the inlet of each expansion valve and superheated by \(7^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) at the inlet of each compressor, and the compressors have an isentropic efficiency of 0.8. Determine the rate of cooling and power requirement for this system using EES, and sketch the P-h and T-s diagrams of the cycle.
