Find (a) the compressor power, in kW, (b) the refrigeration capacity, in tons, and (c) the coefficient of performance (COP) for a real vapor-compression refrigeration cycle using refrigerant 134a. The refrigerant enters the compressor at a rate of 0.15 kg/s as a saturated vapor at −40 °C and leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid at 16 °C. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 80%.

In a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, ammonia exits the
evaporator as saturated vapor at -22 °C. There are
irreversibilities in the compressor. The refrigerant enters the
condenser at 16 bar and 160 °C, and saturated liquid exits at 16
bar. There is no significant heat transfer between the compressor
and its surroundings, and the refrigerant passes through the
evaporator with a negligible change in pressure.

compressor efficiency, defined as:
