Air enters the compressor of an ideal gas refrigeration cycle at 12°C and 50 kPa and the turbine at 47°C and 250 kPa. The mass flow rate of air through the cycle is 0.08 kg/s. Assuming variable specific heats for air, determine (a) the rate of refrigeration, (b) the net power input, and (c) the coefficient of performance.
A two-evaporator, multiple EV,and multiple compression refrigeration system uses refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. The system operates evaporator 1 at 0°C, evaporator 2 at -26.4°C, and the condenser at 800kPa. The refrigerant is circulated through the compressor at a rate of 0.1kg/s and the low temperature evaporator serves a cooling load of 8 kW.Determine the cooling rate of the high-temperature evaporator, the power required by the compressor, and the COP of the system. The refrigerant is saturated liquid at the exit of the condenser and saturated vapor at the exit of each evaporator, and the compressor is isentropic.
In an ideal vapour-compression refrigeration cycle, refrigerant R-12 enters the compressor as a saturated vapour at −18 degree C and leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid at 25 degree C. The mass flow rate of the refrigerant is 0.5 kg/s, and the pressure drop in the evaporator and the condenser are negligible. Calculate: a) the refrigeration effect (rate of refrigeration or heat transfer rate in the evaporator) b)power consumed by the compressor c)the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator) d)qualityof the refrigerant after the expansion valve e)heat transfer rate in the condenser
An ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle uses R-134a as the refrigerant. The refrigerant enters the evaporator at 160 kpa with a quality of 25% and leaves the compressor at 65 °C. If the compressor consumes 800W of power, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, (b) the condenser pressure, and (c) the COP of the refrigerator
