A vapor compression refrigeration cycle uses refrigerant-134a as its working fluid. The condenser pressure is 800 kPa and the evaporator temperature is -20 C. The compressor has an isentropic efficiency of 80 percent. The mass flow rate is 1.7489 kg/s. In the question that follows, select the answer that is closest to the true value. What is the heat going to the evaporator in units of kW?
