Example 11-1
Refrigerant-134a is the working fluid in an ideal compression refrigeration cycle. The refrigerant leaves the evaporator at
-20oC and has a condenser pressure of 0.9 MPa. The mass flow rate is 3 kg/min. Find COP R and COPR, Carnot for the same
Tmax and Tmin , and the tons of refrigeration.
Using the Refrigerant-134a Tables, we have

Problem 5: Shown the carnot cycle first to the left (a) and other cycles to its right, arrange the cycle in terms of
efficiency (no calculations) just by looking at the drawing AND explain your answer!
Solution:
Maximizing Area under the curve T-s means maximizing power output
b) c) d)
