Thermodynamics: A refrigeration unit using Refrigerant-134a is used to maintain a certain space at –15°C. The condenser rejects heat (?H) to cooling water that enters the condenser at 15°C at a rate of 0.2 kg/s and leaves at 35°C (all as saturated liquid water). The superheated refrigerant enters the condenser at 0.8 MPa and 40°C and leaves as a saturated liquid at the same temperature.
