Simple vapor compression cycle

Problem description:
For a simple vapor compression cycle the following data is
given:
1. Refrigerant type: R22.
2. Evaporator pressure: 1 bar.
3. Condenser pressure: 20 bar.
4. Adiabatic efficiency of the compressor: 75%.
5. Mass flow rate of refrigerant: 1 kg/s.
Required:
a. Power of the compressor.
Solution:
𝑃𝑤−𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑜𝑟 = 105.9 𝑘𝑤
By using Aspen Hysis 8.6 software package, a model of a simple
vapor compression cycle is built as shown in figure.1. R22 was
selected as the working fluid and thermodynamic properties of
R22 is brought from Peng-Robinson data base.

Power of the compressor is calculated by the software it equals

105.9 kw. Figure.2 shows the final report made by Hysis for the
compressor power.
