Chapter 11.10, Problem 31P
A room is kept at −5°C by a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle with R-134a as the refrigerant. Heat is rejected to cooling water that enters the condenser at 20°C at a rate of 0.13 kg/s and leaves at 28°C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 MPa and 50°C and leaves as a saturated liquid. If the compressor consumes 1.9 kW of power, determine (a) the refrigeration load, in Btu/h and the COP, (b) the second-law efficiency of the refrigerator and the total exergy destruction in the cycle, and (c) the exergy destruction in the condenser. Take T0 = 20°C and cp,water = 4.18 kJ/kg·°C.
