In a refrigerant 12 system which serves a 250 kw evaporator at -30°C. The system uses two stage compression with intercooling and removal of flash gas. The condenser temp is 40°C.

h2 = 357 kJ/kg, h4 = 365 kJ/kg

Compute the ff:
- mass flow rate at low stage compressor (m1), answer must be in kg/s
- mass flow rate at high stage compressor (m3), answer must be in kg/s
- low stage compressor work, answer must be in kw

In a Refrigerant 12 system which serves a 250 kw evaporator at - 30 °C. The system uses
