A heat pump with refrigerant-134a as the working uid is used to keep a space at 25C by absorbing heat from geothermal water that enters the evaporator at 60C at a rate of 0.065 kg/s and leaves at 40C. Refrigerant enters the evaporator at 12C with a quality of 15 percent and leaves at the same pressure as saturated vapor. If the compressor consumes 1.6 kW of power, determine (a) the mass ow rate of the refrigerant, (b) the rate of heat supply, (c) the COP, and (d) the minimum power input to the compressor for the same rate of heat supply.

Answer:

A) 0.03382 kg/s

B) 7.0372 Kw

C) 4.3982

D) 0.7396 kw

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Evaporator at 60 C

Space temperature = 25 C

power consumed by compressor = 1.6 kw

T1( evaporator temperature ) = 12°C

attached below is the detailed solution
