Question: Problem 2 ( 2 5 points ) A commercial refrigerator with refrigerant - 1 3 4 a as the working fluid is used to keep

Problem 2(25 points)
A commercial refrigerator with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at 30C by rejecting its waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18C at a rate of 0.25kgs and leaves at 26C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 MPa and 65C and leaves at 42C. The inlet state of the compressor is 60 kPa and
-34C and the compressor is estimated to gain a net heat of 450 W from the surroundings. Do the following:
a) Draw this cycle on a T-s diagram.
b) Determine the quality of the refrigerant at the evaporator inlet.
c) Determine the refrigeration load.
d) Determine the COP of the refrigerator.
e) Determine the theoretical maximum refrigeration load for the same power input to the compressor. You may consider the cooling water to be a thermal reservoir with a constant temperature of 18C. Assume the reversed Carnot cycle with an adiabatic compressor.
