a. Refrigerators make use of the heat cycles, such as the Carnot cycle, but in order to remove heat from the cold source (fridge) and put that energy into the hot source (the enrivonment), another energy source must be added to the system to make this occur. The minimum energy to be supplied follows the equation given below. Find an expression for the coefficient of performance in terms of Th and Tc. coefficient of performance (c) = heat...

A Carnot-cycle refrigerator rejects heat at the pressure of 1000 kPa during which the working fluid R -134a changes from saturated vapor to saturated liquid. The heat is added to the cycle at the pressure of 320 kPa. Show the cycle in a T-s diagram and determine the coefficient of performance of the cycle using a) the first law of thermodynamics b) the Carnot cycle efficiency equation and c) the T-s diagram.
