Question: Refrigerant 1 3 4 - a is compressed in a two - stage compressor. It enters the first stage of the compressor as saturated vapor

Refrigerant 134-a is compressed in a two-stage compressor. It enters the first stage of the compressor as saturated vapor at -10C and leaves at 900 kPa and 60C. It then enters the second stage compressor as saturated vapor at 900 kPa and leaves it at 1.4 MPa and 80C. The mass flow rate of the refrigerant through both stages is 3 kg/s. If the total heat loss from the compressor per unit mass of refrigerant is 20 kJ/kg of the refrigerant, what is the total power input to the compressor?
