A vapor-compression refrigeration cycle with Refrigerant 134a as the working fluid operates with an evaporator temperature of 508F and a condenser pressure of 180 lbf/in.2 Saturated vapor enters the compressor. Refrigerant enters the condenser at 1408F and exits as saturated liquid. The cycle has a refrigeration capacity of 5 tons. Determine

(a) the refrigerant mass flow rate, in lb/min.

(b) the compressor isentropic efficiency.

(d) the coefficient of performance.

Plot each of the quantities calculated in parts (b) through (d) for compressor exit temperatures varying from 1308F to 1408F.
