In a CO2 transcritical compression refrigeration cycle the evaporating temperature is -10ºC and the outlet gas cooler temperature is 31oC at a pressure of 78 bar. If the isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 80% and the temperature of the vapour at the entrance of the compressor is 0oC, calculate the refrigerating effect and the COP of the cycle. If the expansion device is replaced by a turbine with an isentropic efficiency of 80%, calculate the new values of the refrigerating effect and the COP for the net power input.
In Co2 transcritical compression refrigeration cycle Co2 is used as refrigerant when it is compressed above it's critical point it does not condensed in to gas cooler that is why this cycle is known as transcritical cycle.
in this question we have to find the refrigeration effect and COP of cycle when expansion takes place in expansion device and when expansion occurs in turbine.
I have taken data directly from Co2 properties P-h chart so values is approximated using interpolation.

Qoutl condenser Condenser A standard 4-component vapor-compression cycle using R-134a is shown in the figure to the right. The cycle is used as a refrigeration cycle to cool a refrigerator at 5 °C with a cooling capacity of 200 W, with a heat transfer to a kitchen at 20 °C. Assume that the pressure drops in the evaporator and condenser are negligible, and that the compressor and expansion valve are adiabatic. Take the boundary temperature...

In a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, ammonia exits the
evaporator as saturated vapor at -22 °C. There are
irreversibilities in the compressor. The refrigerant enters the
condenser at 16 bar and 160 °C, and saturated liquid exits at 16
