A car air conditioner operating with R-134a as working fluid has a minimum temperature of -10°C and a maximum pressure of 1 MPa. The actual adiabatic compressor exit temperature is 50°C. Heat is rejected in the condenser to ambient air at 27°C. Assume no pressure loss in the heat exchangers. Find the specific heat transfer from the cold space and that to the hot space, the COP, and the isentropic efficiency of the compressor. Also, determine the exergy destroyed in each component.
The air conditioning unit is assumed to be working on 'Vapour Compression Refrigeration Cycle'.
