Question: Problem # 2 ( 1 0 pts ) A refrigeration system for a freezer uses R - 1 3 4 a . The compressor isentropic

Problem #2(10 pts)
A refrigeration system for a freezer uses R-134a.
The compressor isentropic efficiency is 75%.
The R-134a enters the compressor at state 1 as a superheated vapor at -10C and 0.14 MPa (1.4 bar ).
The pressure out of the compressor (and into the condenser) at state 2 is 0.9 MPa (9 bar ).
At state 3, the R -134a exits condenser (and enters the throttling valve) at state 3 as a saturated liquid with P3=P2.
After going through the expansion valve from state 3 to state 4( so ?h3=h4), the R-134 a is heated isobarically back to state 1.
The freezer is at -8C(TL) and the kitchen it's in is at 25C(TH)
The heat removed from the freezer (QL) is 20 kW
Determine the following:
The |Wm| for the compressor
The coefficient of performance ()
The theoretical max if the freezer is at -8C and the kitchen it's in is at 25C
The mass flow rate of R-134a necessary remove 20 kW of heat (QL) from the freezer
The maximum temperature and minimum temperature that occur in this system (hint: drawing the T-s diagram might help)
Plot the cycle on a T-s diagram
