Find refrigerating capacity and coefficient of performance


A Vapor compression refrigeration cycle operates at a steady state with refrigerant 134a as the working fluid. Saturated vapor enters the compressor at -10C and leaves the compressor as a superheated vapor at 1200 kPa. The refrigerant leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid. The mass flow rate of the refrigerant is .1 kg/s. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 80%. Determine (a) the compressor power, in kW, (b) the refrigerating capacity, in tons(1 ton of refrigeration=3.52 kW), and (c) the coefficient of performance. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram.
