Question:

Determine the COP of a vapor-compression refrigerator implementing the simple inverse Rankine cycle, employing R134a as refrigerant, with saturated vapor leaving the evaporator at 278 K and saturated liquid leaving the condenser at 300 K. The compressor has an isentropic efficiency of 0.87. Derive the Carnot efficiency for a refrigerator and compare the calculated COP with that of a Carnot refrigerator operating between the same temperatures.
