11-11 A refrigerator operates on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle and uses refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. The condenser operates at 1.6 MPa and the evaporator at -6oC. If an adiabatic, reversible expansion device were available and used to expand the liquid leaving the condenser, how much would the COP improve by using this device instead of the throttle device?

Refrigerant 134a is the working fluid in an ideal vapor-compression
refrigeration cycle. Saturated vapor enters the compressor at h =
400 J/kg and saturated liquid leaves the condenser at h= 242 J/kg.
If the mass flow rate of the refrigerant is 0.08 kg/s, and
superheated vapor exits the compressor at h = 420 J/kg, pression
work will be equal to 1.6 kW
