A heat pump using refrigerant-134a as a refrigerant operates its condenser at 800 kPa and its evaporator
Question:
A heat pump using refrigerant-134a as a refrigerant operates its condenser at 800 kPa and its evaporator at −1.25°C. It operates on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, except for the compressor, which has an isentropic efficiency of 85 percent. How much do the compressor Irreversibilities reduce this heat pump’s COP as compared to an ideal vapor compression refrigeration cycle?
