A simple R-12, heat pump, used for space heating, operates between 15oC and 50oC. Heat required to be pumped is 100MJ/hr. Calculate the quality of the refrigerant entering the evaporator, mass flow rate of the refrigerant and discharge temperature coming out of the compressor, theoretical piston displacement, power required for the compressor and the COP.

         Assume Cp of vapour as 0.8kJ/kg-K and specific volume of saturated vapour at 15oC as 0.0354m3/kg
