Question:

A vapor-compression heat pump circulates R-134a at 300 lbm/hr. The R-134a enters the compressor at 20 F and 20 psia and leaves at 180 F and 180 psia. The refrigerant enters the expansion valve at 100° F and 160 psia and leaves the  at 20° F and 20 psia. Determine:

(a) The heating capacity (kBtu/hr) of the heat pump

(b) The coefficient of performance.
