1. ( 15 points) R134a executes the Carnot refrigeration cycle shown. At the beginning of the isothermal compression, the fluid is a saturated vapor and the pressure is \( 600 \mathrm{kPa} \). The coefficient of performance for this Carnot cycle is \( 5.47 \), the required power input for the compressor is 15 \( \mathrm{kW} \), and the mass flow rate through the system is \( 0.15 \) \( \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{s} \). a. Identify the processes of the cycle and what component in the cycle is representative of each process (for example: does isothermal expansion occur in the compressor, condenser, throttling valve b. Find the maximum and minimum temperatures of th c. What are the pressure and specific volume of the flu
