A refrigerator uses R-134a as the working fluid, and operates on the cycle shown in the figure below. The evaporator and condenser pressures are 200 kPa and 1400 kPa respectively. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 88%. The refrigerant enters the compressor at the rate of 0.02 kg/s and temperature 0°C, and leaves the condenser at 48°C. Determine (a) the rate of cooling provided by the evaporator. (b) the power input (c) the COP Condenser valve Compres Eve
