Explain minimum flow rate of the refrigerant at compressor


An air-conditioner with refrigerant 134a as the working fluid is used to keep a room at 26 C by rejecting the waste heat to outdoor air at 34 C. The room gains heat through the walls and the windows at rate of 250 kj/min while the heat generated by the computer, TV, and lights amounts to 900 W. The refrigerant enters the compressor at 500 kPa as a saturated vapor at a rate of 100L/min and leaves at 1200 kPa and 50 C. Determine (a) actual COP, (b) the maximum COP, and (c) the minimum flow rate of the refrigerant at the compressor inlet for the same compressor inlet and exit conditions.
