at 23°C by rejecting the waste heat to the outdoor air at 34°C. The room gains heat
through the walls and the windows at a rate of 250 kJ/min while the heat generated
by the computer, TV, and lights amounts to 900 W. The refrigerant enters the
compressor at 400 kPa as a saturated vapor at a rate of 80 L/min and leaves at 1200
kPa and 70°C.

flow rate of the refrigerant at the compressor inlet for the same compressor inlet and
exit conditions.
