A steady-flow Carnot refrigeration cycle uses refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. The refrigerant changes from saturated vapor to saturated liquid at 46.00°C in the condenser as it rejects heat. The evaporator pressure is 180 kPa. Determine the net work input. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.)
