4. A refrigerator uses refrigerant-134a as the working fluid and operates on the vapor-
compression refrigeration cycle. The evaporator and condenser pressures are 200 kPa and
1400 kPa, respectively. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 88 percent. The
refrigerant enters the compressor at a rate of 0.025 kg/s superheated by 10.1°C and leaves
the condenser subcooled by 4.4°C. Determine
a) the rate of cooling provided by the evaporator, the power input, and the COP,
b) the same parameters if the cycle operated on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration
cycle between the same pressure limits.
