QUESTION:
An ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle that uses refrigerant-134a as its working fluid maintains a condenser at and the evaporator at . Determine this system's COP and the amount of power required to service a cooling load.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 5
An ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is considered.
The COP and the power requirement are to be determined.
Assumptions are
1. Steady operating conditions exist.
2. Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible.
