A commercial refrigerator using R-134a as a refrigerant is used to keep the cooled environment at -35'C. The refrigerator releases the waste heat to the cooling water that enters the condenser at 18'C with a flow of 0.25 kg / s and leaves the condenser at 26'C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at a pressure of 1.2 MPa and a temperature of 50'C, and leaves the condenser at the same pressure and supercooled at 5 ₒC. Since the compressor consumes 3.3 kW of power, a) Mass flow rate of the refrigerant, b) Cooling load and COP value c) Calculate the minimum power consumed by the compressor for the same cooling load.
