Q. A standard vapor compression refrigeration cycle operating with a condensing temperature of 35^oC and an evaporating temperature of -10 ^oC develops 15 kW of cooling. The p–h diagram shows the enthalpies at various states. If the isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 0.75, the magnitude of compressor power (in kW) is ________(correct to two decimal places).

Ans: 9.50 – 10.50
