Find power required by compressor and refrigeration capacity


An ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle uses refrigerant 134a, which has a mass flow rate of 4.8 kg/min. The refrigent enters the compressor as saturated vapor and exits the condenser as saturated liquid. The cycle operates between a cold region at 10.4 degrees F and a warm region at 16 degrees C. A) Find the power required by the compressor in KW B) The refrigeration capacity in tons C) The coefficient of performance of the cycle D) The coefficient of performance of a Carnot refrigeration cycle operating between the same regions E) The mass flow rate (kg/min) required to double the refrigeration capacity of the cycle, if the other data is the same
