If it takes about 335 kJ to freeze 1 kg of water, how much ice could an ice maker having a 1-ton refrigeration capacity produce in 24 hours?

Using the T–s diagram of Fig. 10.1, an area interpretation ofthe Carnot vapor refrigeration cycle coefficient of performanceis provided in Sec. 10.1. Can a similar area interpretation be developed for the coefficient of performance of a vaporcompression refrigeration cycle?

Would you recommend replacing the expansion valve of Example 10.3 by a turbine?
