A refrigerator with R-410a as the working fluid has a minimum temperature of −10°C and a maximum pressure of 1 MPa. Assuming an ideal refrigeration cycle, find the specific heat transfer FROM the cold space, the specific heat transfer TO the hot space, and the coefficient of performance. Will this refrigeration cycle work in an ordinary kitchen?
