5. A heat pump operates on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle and uses refrigerant- 134a as the working fluid. The condenser operates at 1000 kPa and the evaporator at 200 kPa. Determine this system's COP and the rate of heat supplied to the evaporator when the compressor consumes 6 kW.
