Prоblem 3 (15 pоints) A geоthermаl heаt pump running а simple heat pump cycle uses R-134a as a refrigerant and sources thermal energy from well water. The well water enters the evaporator at 20°C and 200 kPa and exits at 15°C, with negligible pressure drop. On the refrigerant side, the evaporator operates isobarically at 280 kPa and the refrigerant exits the evaporator at 10°C (state 1). The refrigerant is compressed to 1 MPa and 60°C (state 2) through a non-adiabatic compressor. The refrigerant exits the isobaric condenser at 34°C (state 3). There is a measured specific heat transfer from the compressor to the surroundings of q = 2 kJ/kg. Determine the specific work input to the compressor, in kJ/kg. Your answer must come from an analysis that identifies an appropriate system, starts with general versions of any balance equations you use, and clearly identifies any assumptions you use and how they affect your analysis. Calculate the COP of this cycle. Any heat or work terms you use to answer this question must come from an analysis that identifies an appropriate system, starts with general versions of any balance equations you use, and clearly identifies any assumptions you use and how they affect your analysis. Calculate the ratio of the refrigerant mass flow rate to the water mass flow rate in the evaporator (ṁr/ṁw) . Your answer must come from an analysis that identifies an appropriate system, starts with general versions of any balance equations you use, and clearly identifies any assumptions you use and how they affect your analysis.
