A vapor compression refrigeration cycle uses steam as the working fluid. Steamflows steadily with a mass ow rate of 0.5 kg/s. Saturated vapor at 2.0 o C (State 1) enters an uninsulated compressor and it is compressed to 0.35 bar (State 2). Heat transfer at the rate of 105 kJ/s occurs from the compressor to its surroundings and the heat transfer exactly balances the entropy generation rate so that s2 = s1. The boundary and surrounding temperature of the compressor is measured to be 26.67 o C. Steam exits as saturated liquid at 0.34 bar (State 3) from the condenser. Steam leaving the condenser is then throttled in an expansion valve (State 4) before entering a constant pressure evaporator to complete the thermodynamic cycle.
