During a fall season a heat pump is operating on a heating mode to maintain a large convention hall at 24°C during which the outside temperature is 5°C. The system is using R134a as a working fluid. The refrigerant leaves the condenser at 30°C and enters a compressor at -5°C. The refrigerant flow rate is 0.3 kg/s. Assume an ideal VCC to evaluate the system and report the followings:
