An air conditioner using refrigerant-134a as the working fluid and operating on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle is to maintain a space at \( 32^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) while operating its condenser at \( 1200 \mathrm{kPa} \). Determine the COP of the system when a temperature difference of \( 4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) is allowed for the transfer of heat in the evaporator. (Take the required values from saturated refrigerant-134a tables.) The COP of the system is
