Problem
The refrigerant fluid R-123 (see Table A.2) is used in a refrigeration system that operates in the ideal refrigeration cycle, except that the compressor is neither reversible nor adiabatic. Saturated vapor at -26.5?C enters the compressor, and superheated vapor exits at 65?C. Heat is rejected from the compressor as 1 kW, and the R-123 flow rate is 0.1 kg/s. Saturated liquid exits the condenser at 37.5oC. Specific heat for R-123 is Cp0 = 0.6 kJ/kg K. Find the COP.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
