A commercial refrigerator with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -30°C by rejecting its waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18°C at a rate of 0.29 kg/s and leaves at 26°C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 MPa and 65°C and leaves at 42°C. The inlet state of the compressor is 60 kPa and -34°C and the compressor is estimated to gain a net heat of 430 W from the surroundings. The heat exchanger loses no heat to the environment.

3.) When a gas surrounded by air is compressed or expands adiabatically, its temperature rises or decreased even though there is no heat input or dissipated to the gas. Where does the energy come from to raise or lower the temperature? 4.) Why must a room air conditioner be placed in a window rather than just set on the floor and plugged in? Why can a refrigerator be set on the floor and plugged in?
