Chapter 10, Problem 36P

(choose chapter or problem)

Refrigerant 134a is the working fluid in a vapor compression heat pump that provides 35 kW to heat a dwelling on a day when the outside temperature is below freezing. Saturated vapor enters the compressor at 1.6 bar, and saturated liquid exits the condenser, which operates at 8 bar. Determine, for isentropic compression

(a) the refrigerant mass flow rate, in kg/s.

(b) the compressor power, in kW.

(c) the coefficient of performance.

Recalculate the quantities in parts (b) and (c) for an isentropic compressor efficiency of 75%.
