Problem 6.38:

The refrigeration cycle in Figure 6-21 shows a vapor compression cycle with recirculation. The vapor-liquid separator after the throttling valve recycles the vapor to the compressor and passes the liquid to the evaporator. This process uses the refrigerant R-134a with the evaporator temperature set at - 20 °C, the condenser at 30 °C, and with compressor efficiency of 75%. Determine the energy and entropy balances and compare the efficiency of this process to the simple vapor-compression cycle without recirculation.
