A vapor-compression refrigeration cycle using ammonia as working fluid 11 has a refrigerating capacity is 150 kW. Ammonia exits the evaporator as saturated vapor at-22°C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 16 bar and 160°C, and saturated liquid exits at 16 bar. Determine the mass flow rate of refrigerant, in kg/min
