A vapor compression refrigeration cycle using R-134a as the working fluid has an evaporator temperature of -20Â°F, and a condenser pressure of 140 psia. The refrigerant is saturated at the inlet to the compressor and at the exit of the condenser. The adiabatic compressor efficiency is 84%. Determine the system COP.

What is the heat transfer associated : Air in a piston-cylinder device is compressed from an initial state (temperature = 80 °C, pressure = 100 kPa, volume = 0.3 m3) to a final state (temperature = 250 °C, pressure = 600 kPa), during a polytropic process (n = 1.28094065700868). What is th..

Determine the temperature of the air at the exit : Air enters a pipe at 25 Celsius, 100 kPa at a flow rate of 36 m3/hr. A heater on the outside of the pipe draws 8 amps at a voltage of 120 V. All the heat from the heater is transferred to the air (well insulated and wall t is small).

Determine the mass flow rate and the rate of heat transfer : R134a flowing at 12 m/s enters a 25 mm diameter tube at a quality of 15%, at 36 Celsius and exits the tube at 10 bars as a saturated liquid.
