R134a is currently a widely used refrigerant but has a high global warming potential. R450a has been proposed as a replacement that has similar thermodynamic properties but a lower GWP because it is a blend of R134a and R1234ze. The document compares the properties of R134a and R450a, assumes a basic refrigeration system, and calculates values like mass flow rate, enthalpy, work, and heat transfer based on that system to analyze replacing R134a with R450a.
