In a vapour compression refrigeration cycle, the refrigerant enters the compressor in a saturated vapour state at evaporator pressure, with a specific enthalpy equal to 250 kJ/kg. The exit of the compressor is superheated at condenser pressure with a specific enthalpy equal to 300 kJ/kg. At the condenser exit, the refrigerant is throttled to the evaporator pressure. The coefficient of performance (COP) of the cycle is 3. If the specific enthalpy of the saturated liquid at evaporator pressure is 50 kJ/kg, then what is the dryness fraction of the refrigerant at the entry to the evaporator?
