A vapor-compression refrigeration system circulates Refrigerant 134a at a rate of 0.15 kg/s. The refrigerant enters the compressor at -10 degees Celcius, 1 bar, and exits at 8 bar. The isentropic compressor efficiency is 76%. There are appreciable pressure drops as the refrigerant flows through the condenser and evaporator. The refrigerant leaves the condenser at 8 bar and 30 degrees Celcius. Ignoring the heat transfer between the compressor and its surroundings, determine: a) The rate at which energy is removed from the refrigerated space in kW b) The coefficient of performance
