determine 1) sub cooling achieved in the heat exchanger, 2) refrigerant flow rate, 3) cop of the plant
The Values of Cp of liquid and Cp of vapour are not given in the question, hence i could not calculate the enthalpies at various points, But the procedure to solve above question is this only, Thank you.

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...
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...
Thermodynamics A two-stage vapour-compression refrigeration plant shown in Figure Q2 diagrammatically below is discharged with Refrigerant 12. Both compressors are single-acting, single-stage reciprocating machines with four cylinders and as isentropic efficiency of 80%. They each have a stroke/bore ratio of 1.2 and run at 600 rev/min with a volumetric efficiency of 90%. The condenser, flash chamber and evaporator pressures are 10 bar, 3 bar and 1 bar respectively. Saturation states exist at points 5 and 3 and the vapour at...

A vapor compression refrigeration cycle utilizes R-134a as the working fluid. The refrigerant flow rate is 50 g/s. Vapor at 150 kPa and -10 °C enters the compressor and leaves at 1.2 MPa and 75 °C. The power input to the non-adiabatic compressor is measured and found to be 2.4 kW. The refrigerant enters the expansion valve at 1.15 MPa and 40 °C and leaves the evaporator at 160 kPa and -15 °C. Determine the entropy generation in the compression...
