Q2: A simple R134a vapor compression system operates between 40°C condensing temperature and-10°C evaporating temperature. The system compressor has a piston displacement of 3 m'/min and volumetric efficiency of 75%. The temperature of vapor leaving the compressor is 60°C. The liquid refrigerant is subcooled by 10°C before entering to the expansion device. Calculate: a. Refrigerant mass flow rate. b. Refrigeration capacity. c. Indicated power. d. The COP.
