Refrigerant 134a at p1 = 30 lbf/in2, T1 = 40oF enters a compressor operating at steady state with a mass flow rate of 175 lb/h

Refrigerant 134a at p1 = 30 lbf/in2, T1 = 40oF enters a compressor operating at steady state with a mass flow rate of 175 lb/h and exits as saturated vapor at p2 = 160 lbf/in2. Heat transfer occurs from the compressor to its surroundings, which are at T0 = 40oF. Changes in kinetic and potential energy can be ignored. The power input to the compressor is 1.75 hp.

Determine the heat transfer rate for the compressor, in Btu/hr, and the entropy production rate for the compressor, in Btu/hr·oR.
