1) A commercial refrigerator with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -30°C by rejecting its waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 16 °C at a rate of 0.25 kg/s and leaves at 26°C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 MPa and 65°C and leaves at 42°C. The inlet state of the compressor is 60 kPa and -34°C and the compressor is estimated to gain a net heat of...
value 10.00 points Question An air-conditioner with refrigerant-134a s the working fluid is used to keep a room at 21°C-Ass by rejecting the waste heat to the outdoor air at 37°C. The room gains heat through the walls and the windows at a rate of 249 kJ/min while the heat generated by the computer, TV, and T lights amounts to 600 W.

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. For a refrigeration capacity of 8 tons or 2.816 x104 J/s determine the following: (1) The refrigerant mass flow rate in kg/s; (2) The compressor isentropic efficiency [Hint: Interpolation is required); (3)...
An ideal vapor-compression refrigerant cycle operates at steady state with Refrigerant 134a as the working fluid.

Problem I: Not applicable for 2017 Problem II: In an R-134a vapor-compression home heat pump, R-134A enters the compressor (75% isentropic efficiency) as a saturated vapor at 200 kPa and leaves at 800 kPa. The refrigerant goes through a constant pressure condenser and leaves as a saturated liquid. The refrigerant then goes through an adiabatic expansion valve enters the evaporator as a liquid-vapor mixture. The mass flow rate of refrigerant is 0.1 kg/s. and Cod A. Write the equation for...
