A two-stage compression refrigeration system with an adiabatic liquid-vapor separation unit like that in Fig. P11 60

Question:

A two-stage compression refrigeration system with an adiabatic liquid-vapor separation unit like that in Fig. P11– 60 uses refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. The system operates the evaporator at 60 psia, the condenser at 300 psia, and the separator at 120 psia. The compressors use 25 kW of power. Determine the rate of cooling provided by the evaporator and the COP of this cycle. The refrigerant is saturated liquid at the inlet of each expansion valve and saturated vapor at the inlet of each compressor, and the compressors are isentropic.
