Open Specific Steady-State Devices>Gas Refrigeration/Heat Pump back

In a gas refrigeration system air enters the compressor at 10oC and 50 kPa and the turbine at 50oC and 250 kPa. The mass flow rate is 0.08 kg/s. Assuming variable specific heat, determine (a) the rate of cooling, (b) the net power input and (c) the COP.

What-If Scenario: How do the answers change if the gas is helium instead? 

Solution: Step-by-step instructions as well as the TEST-Code can be found in the Tutorial>Daemons>OpenCycle>Practice page. An image of the Cycle panel is reproduced from the Slide Show below.
