2. (10 points) An ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle is modified to include a counter- flow heat exchanger, as shown below. Ammonia leaves the evaporator as saturated vapor at 1.0 bar and is heated at constant pressure to 5 "C before entering the compressor. Following isentropic compression to 18 bar, the refrigerant passes through the condenser, exiting at 40 C, 18 bar. The liquid then passes through the heat exchanger, entering the expansion valve at 18 bar. If the mass flow...

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...

Thermodynamics. No interpolation needed. Problem #3. Refrigerant 134a is the working fluid for vapor-compression refrigeration cycle. The evaporator temperature is 8°C and the condenser pressure is 12 bar. Saturated vapor enters the compressor and superheated vapor enters the condenser at 60°C and exits the condenser as saturated liquid.

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. The low temperature evaporator operates at -18°C with saturated vapor at its exit and has a refrigerating capacity of 10.5 kW (3 tons). The higher- temperature evaporator produces saturated vapor at 3.2 bar at its exit and has...
