Question: Refrigerant R 1 3 4 a enters the compressor as a superheated vapor at 0 . 1 4 MPa and - 1 0 C with

Refrigerant R134a enters the compressor as a superheated vapor at 0.14 MPa and -10C with a mass flow rate of 0.05 kg/s. It is compressed to 0.8 MPa and 50C. The refrigerant is then condensed to a saturated liquid state at 0.7 MPa and 26.72C and passes through a throttling valve to 0.15 MPa. Answer the following questions:
(a) Draw a schematic diagram. (5 points)
(b) Draw a T-s diagram. (5 points)
(c) Calculate the heat transfer in the cooling space (kW).(5 points)
(d) Calculate the work supplied to the compressor (kW).(5 points)
(e) Evaluate the coefficient of performance (COP) of the refrigeration system. (10 points)
