Question:

A vapor-compression refrigerator using R-134a is to provide chilled water at 40 F and 14.7 psia. Originally the water is at 70 F and 14.7 psia. The pressure in the evaporator is 40 psia and that in the condenser is 100 psia. The R-134a enters the compressor at 40 F and leaves at 120 F. The power supplied to the compressor is 1 hp. The R-134a leaves the condenser as saturated liquid. Determine the coefficient of performance for the refrigerator and the mass flow rate (lbm/hr) of chilled water that can be produced.
