w(h1-h4) = 19.44444 kW
w = 0.179046 kg/s
Volumetric flow rate = 0.013787 m3/s
Compressor discharge temp = 48 deg C
Pressure ratio = 4.384173
Heat rejected to condensor = 24.13904 kW
h4 = hf + x4*hfg

P2

P1

Evaporator temperature = -10 deg C

Condensor temperature = 40 deg C

At -10 deg C means at point 1

(P1)sat = 2.191 bara

v1 = 0.076646 m3/kg
h1 = 183.058 kJ/kg
s1 = 0.7014 kJ/kgK

At point 2

s2 = 0.7014 kJ/kgK
(P2)sat = 9.607 bara

45.37057

t2 = 45.37057 deg C
h2 = 207.2589 kJ/kg

At P2 = 9.607 bara
hf = 74.527 kJ/kg
hfg = 128.525 kJ/kg
hg = 203.051 kJ/kg

Heat rejected in condensor = 23.01177 kW

h4 = 74.527 kJ/kg
At P = 2.192 bar
hf = 26.851 kJ/kg
hfg = 156.207 kJ/kg
hf + x4*hfg = 74.527
Therefore
x4 = 0.30521
Therefore flash percentage is 30.5 %
COP = heat removed from the refrigerated
COP = (h1-h4)/(h2-h1)
= 4.484582
Power required to drive the compressor = 4.333089 kW
COP reversible = 5.26
COP vapor compression cycle/COP Carnot cycle
= 0.852582
Entropy at point 1 and 2 are same. Isentropic compression.
