A commercial refrigerator with refrigerant -134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -30C by rejecting its waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18C at a rate of 0.25 kg/s and leaves at 26C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 MPa and 65C and leaves at 42C. The inlet state of the compressor is 60 kPa and -34C and the compressor is estimated to gain a net heat of 450 W from the surroundings. Determine

a. the quality of the refrigerant at the evaporator inlet,

b. the refrigeration load,

c. the COP of the refrigerator, and

d. the theoretical maximum refrigeration load for the same power input to the compressor.

Refrigerant-134a enters the compressor of a refrigerator as superheated vapor at 0.14 mpa and -10°c at a rate of 0.05 ka/s and leaves at 0.8 mpa and 50°c. the refrigerant is cooied in the condenser to 0.72 mpa and 26'c. it is then throttled to 0.15 mpa. sketch the t-s diagram for the system and evaluate: 6) the rate of heat removai from the refrigerated space (kw), it) the power input to the compressor (kw), ii) the isentropic efficiency of the compressor (%), and iv) the cop of the refrigerator.
