Question: Problem 3 ( 2 5 Points ) GIVEN: In an actual refrigeration cycle using Refrigerant HFC - 1 3 4 a as the working fluid,

Problem 3(25 Points)
GIVEN:
In an actual refrigeration cycle using Refrigerant HFC-134a as the working fluid, the refrigerant flow rate is 0.1kgs. Saturated vapor enters the compressor at 1 bar, and saturated liquid exits the condenser at a pressure of 10 bar. The temperature at the compressor exit is 80C. Assume that the expansion valve is adiabatic. Analyze the problem using the attached p-h diagram or thermodynamic tables.
FIND:
A. Draw a representative T-s diagram for the cycle. Label each principle state in accord with the schematic and energy/work if applicable.
B. Determine the pressure and enthalpy at each principle state By using either p-h diagram or thermodynamic tables. If you are using p-h diagram, you need to label each principle state on the p-h diagram.
C. Determine the compressor power input kW.
D. Determine the isentropic compressor efficiency.
E. Determine the refrigeration capacity Qin[ton].
F. Calculate the Coefficient of Performance of the cycle.
