Problem-3 (200) In a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, R134a exits the evaporator as saturated vapor at -32°C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 14 bar and 170°C, and saturated liquid exits at 14 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. If the mass flow rate is 2.987 kg/s, determine (a) Refrigeration capacity in KW (100) (b) The power input to the compressor,...

15% A refrigerator using refrigerant-134a as the working fluid operates on an actual vapor compression ugeration cycle between 0.12 MPa and 1 MPa. The refrigerant leaves the compressor at 60°C and leaves condenser as a saturated liquid. If the mass flow rate is 1 kg/s, determine the COP of the system. If an adiabatic, reversible expansion device were available and used to expand the liquid leaving the condenser, how much would the COP improve by using this device instead of...
