Question: Plow = 9 0 Pintm = 3 2 0 Phigh = 1 4 0 0 Two - stage, vapor - compression refrigeration system with two

Plow=90
Pintm=320
Phigh=1400 Two-stage, vapor-compression refrigeration system with two evaporators and a direct contact heat exchanger as shown in the figure. Saturated vapor R134a from evaporator 1 enters compressor 1 at the lowest Pressure \(\left\{P_{\text {low }}\right\}\mathrm{kPa}\) and exits at an intermediate pressure kPa . Evaporator 2 operates at \(\left\{P_{\text {intm }}\right\}\mathrm{kPa}\), with saturated vapor exiting at state 8. The condenser pressure is the highest pressure \(\left\{P_{h i g h}\right\}\mathrm{kPa}\), and saturated liquid refrigerant exits the condenser. Each compressor stage has an isentropic efficiency of \(80\%\). The refrigeration capacity of evaporator 1 is 18 kW and for evaporator 2 is 36 kW .
A) Sketch the T-s diagram of the cycle (Show saturation lines, constant pressure lines, add each state properly i.e. add values of T and s for each state).
B) Determine each compressor's work
C) Determine COP of the cycle
Plow = 9 0 Pintm = 3 2 0 Phigh = 1 4 0 0 Two -
