A new refrigerator-freezer combination unit is being designed with a dual-evaporator system to be used in a recreational vehicle. The freezer compartment is to be at -14.0°C and the refrigerator compartment is to be at 8.0°C. The outlet of the condenser is at 20.0°C. The cooling capacities of both the refrigerator and the freezer compartments are to be 200. kJ/h each. The system will use refrigerant R-134a with a compressor isentropic efficiency of 70.0%.
Determine
a. The coefficient of performance for this design.
b. The mass flow rate of refrigerant required.
c. The quality at the outlet of the refrigeration evaporator.
