Ammonia is an excellent, inexpensive refrigerant with no greenhouse gas issues. Toxicity is the only major concern. It is often used in industrial food facilities (e.g., fish processing). You have a basic refrigeration cycle with the following properties: Evaporator pressure 0.2 MPa, evaporator outlet is a saturated vapor, compressor is adiabatic with an efficiency of 90%, compressor outlet is 2.0 MPa, condenser outlet is a saturated liquid, throttle is adiabatic. Find the COPR for this cycle, the maximum temperature in the cycle, and the evaporation and condensation temperatures.
