Question: Problem # 1 ( 5 pts ) A heat pump with R - 1 3 4 a enters the compressor as a saturated vapor at

Problem #1(5 pts)
A heat pump with R-134a enters the compressor as a saturated vapor at -20C, and is compressed to 0.8 MPa at state 2. The fluid cools isobarically until it enters the throttling valve at state 3 as a subcooled liquid at 0.8 MPa and 28C(you may estimate h3 as hf@T). Plot the coefficient of performance Y (Heat out per mass/work in per mass) as the efficiency of the compressor (c) is varied from 1 to 0.25. Plot at least 5 data points. Remember that h1,h2s(but not h2), and h3 will be the same regardless of compressor efficiency.
