Question: Question 6 . The refrigeration cycle. ( 2 0 pt ) ( 1 ) The throttling valve in the practical vapor - compression refrigeration cycle

Question 6. The refrigeration cycle. (20 pt )
(1) The throttling valve in the practical vapor-compression refrigeration cycle replaces the isentropic turbine. Determine the temperature change and enthalpy change of the working fluid entering and exiting the throttling valve. (Increase or Decrease)(5 pt)
(2) An ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle using refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to cool a brine solution to -5C. This solution is pumped to various buildings for the purpose of air-conditioning. The refrigerant evaporates at 16.00C with a total mass flow rate of 6.000kgs and condenses at 600 kPa . Determine the COP of the cycle and the total cooling load. (Hint: h1=hg@-16C=240.9kJkg,h2=268.5402kJkg,h3=hf@600kPa=81.50kJkg)(15 pt)
