    Problem 2 A R-12 refrigerating machine works on vapor compression cycle. The temperature of refrigerant
    in the evaporator is -20℃. The vapor is dry saturated when it enters the compressor and leaves it in a
    superheated condition. The condenser temperature is 30℃. Assuming specific heat at constant pressure for
    R-12 in the superheated condition as 1.884 kJ/kg K, determine
    COP of the machine.
    Solution
    T2′ = T3 = 300C = 30+273 = 303K
    T1 = T4 = - 200C = -20 + 273 = 253 K
    Cp = 1.884 kJ/kg K
