A refrigerator operates on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle and uses refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. The condenser operates at 300 psia and the evaporator at 20℉. 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?
