The air conditioner in a car uses R-134a, and the compressor power input is 1.5 kW, bringing the R-134a from 201.7 kPa to 1200 Kpa by compression. The cold space is a heat exchanger that cools 30 degrees C atmospheric air from the outside down to 10 degrees C and blows it into the car. What is the mass flow rate of the R-134a and what is the low temperature heat transfer rate? What is the mass flow rate of air at 10 degrees C?
