Solution:-
c) Temprature between 2 and 3 is due to compression of reffrigerant in the compressor which is given by
When wo cool it in condensor temperature decreases to
T3 saturated vapour and phase change occcure to
saturated liquid withconstant tempreature. After that it is passed
to expension valve where temperature and pressure decreeases at
constant enthalpy ().
At exit of expension valve tempreature is
and
Then heated in evaporator to saturated vapour phase and then
passed to compressor.
From above discussion it is clear that

Qoutl condenser Condenser A standard 4-component vapor-compression cycle using R-134a is shown in the figure to the right. The cycle is used as a refrigeration cycle to cool a refrigerator at 5 °C with a cooling capacity of 200 W, with a heat transfer to a kitchen at 20 °C. Assume that the pressure drops in the evaporator and condenser are negligible, and that the compressor and expansion valve are adiabatic. Take the boundary temperature...
In a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, ammonia exits the
evaporator as saturated vapor at -22 °C. There are
irreversibilities in the compressor. The refrigerant enters the
condenser at 16 bar and 160 °C, and saturated liquid exits at 16
bar. There is no significant heat transfer between the compressor
and its surroundings, and the refrigerant passes through the
evaporator with a negligible change in pressure.

Condenser Compressor An ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle is modified to include a counter-flow heat exchanger as shown. Refrigerant 134a leaves the evaporator as saturated vapor at 0.10 MPa and is heated at constant pressure to 20°C before entering the compressor. Following isentropic compression to 1.4 MPa, the refrigerant passes through the condenser and exits at 45°C and 1.4 MPa. The liquid then passes through the heat exchanger and enters the expansion valve at 1.4 MPa. The mass flow rate of...

A Refrigeration System Using R-134A In a refrigeration system, the refrigerant R-134A begins as saturated vapor at -15°(State 1). It then goes through a reversible adiabatic compressor to reach State 2. After flowing through the condenser (a heat exchanger), the refrigerant exits as saturated liquid at 70°C (State 3). It is then throttled by going through an expansion valve, to reach State 4. It finishes the cycle by going through another heat exchanger (the evaporator), to return to State 1....
