Question: Make an EES code to help solve part a - d of the problem: 1 . ) An air condition system in Phoenix, AZ ,

Make an EES code to help solve part a-d of the problem:
1.) An air condition system in Phoenix, AZ, is required to maintain a room at 68F, while the outside temperature during a hot summer day is 122F using R134a.
a) Assume a simple refrigeration cycle, calculate the cycle COP, the cycle refrigeration efficiency, and the minimum power that such machine can need in hp per TR of refrigeration capacity.
b) Plot the variation of the refrigeration effect, the compressor specific work, the cycle COP, and the refrigeration efficiency as a function of the outside temperature (vary it from 130F to 80F) with the constant given room temperature.
c) At night the cycle is reversed, and the air conditioning machine works as a heat pump as the outside temperature drops to 50F, for the same room set temperature of 68F, calculate the minimum compressor power in hp, the heat pump COP, and the heat pump efficiency assuming 12000 Btu/hr heating capacity required in the room.
d) Plot the variation of the heat rejection (kJ/kg), the compressor specific work, cycle COP, and the refrigeration efficiency as a function of the outside temperature (vary it from 60F to 10F) with the constant given room temperature.
