Using Isentropic Processes/EfficienciesFigure P6.161
Chapter 6, Problem 161P(choose chapter or problem)
Figure P6.161 provides the schematic of a heat pump using Refrigerant 134a as the working fluid, together with steady-state data at key points. The mass flow rate of the refrigerant is 7 kg/min, and the power input to the compressor is 5.17 kW. (a) Determine the coefficient of performance for the heat pump. (b) If the valve were replaced by a turbine, power could be produced, thereby reducing the power requirement of the heat pump system. Would you recommend this power-saving measure? Explain.
