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. Calculate the coefficient of performance, b, and the isentropic compressor efficiency, defined as: 2s Condenser Expansion...
EXAMPLE 6 A household refrigeration system works with a vapor compression refrigeration system with two evaporators using Refrigerant 134a as the working fluid. This arrangement is used to achieve refrigeration at two different temperatures with a single compressor and a single condenser.
