What is the heating capacity of the heat pump


The refrigerant R-22 is used as the working fluid in a non-ideal heat vapor heat pump cycle. Saturated vapor enters the compressor at 10C; the exit temperature from the compressor is measured and found to be 85C and the isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 70%. (Reminder: the ideal vapor heat pump cycle is the same as a vapor compression refirgeration cycle but is used for heating not cooling). What is the heating capacity of the heat pump, in kW. What is the coefficient of performance of the heat pump?
