Refrigerant 134a is the working fluid in a vapor-compression heat pump that provides 35 kW to heat a dwelling on a day when the
outside temperature is below freezing. Saturated vapor enters the compressor at 1.6 bar, and saturated liquid exits the condenser,
which operates at 8 bar.
Determine for an isentropic compressor efficiency of 85%:
(a) the refrigerant mass flow rate, in kg/s.
(b) the magnitude of the compressor power, in kW.
() the coefficient of performance.
