A two-stage cascade refrigeration system operates between the pressure limits of 1.4MPa and 200 kPa with refrigerant-134a. The fluid leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid and is throttled to a flash chamber operating at 0.50 MPa. Part of the refrigerant evaporates in the flashing process, and this vapor is mixed with the refrigerant leaving the low-pressurin compressor. The liguid in the flash chamber iS throttled to the evaporator pressure and cools the refrigerated space. The mass flow rate of...
Problem 2 (30 pts): Consider a two-stage vapor-compression refrigeration system operating between the pressure limits of 1.5 MPa and 150 kPa with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. The refrigerant leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid and is throttled to a flash chamber operating at 0.45 MPa. The mass flow rate of the refrigerant through the low pressure compressor is 0.15 kg/s. Assuming the refrigerant leaves the evaporator as a saturated vapor, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the...
(100 points) Figure below shows the schematic diagram of a two-stage cascade refrigeration system (also called the Economizer 2-Stage Refrigeration Cycle). Comparing to the cascade two-stage refrigeration system discussed in In-class Activity #10a, in this case, the flash chamber (now called Flash Intercooler) is still used but the mixing chamber is removed. The superheated vapor (2) out of the low-pressure compressor (1) is routed into the flash chamber, and the saturated vapor (3) out of the flash chamber enters directly...
-Week 12 6 Help S Required information NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted. you wiw be unable to retuwn to this part A two-stage compression refrigeration system operates with refrigerant-134a between the pressure limits of 1.4 MPa and 010 MPa. The refrigerant leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid and is throttled to a flash chamber operating at 0.6 MPa. he flash chamber is maintained at the same pressure as the low pressure discharge which...
a) The coefficient of performance-of vapor-compression refrigeration cycles improves when the refrigerant is subcooled before it enters the throttling valve Can the refrigerant be subcooled indefinitely to maximize this effect, or is there a lower limit? Explain brieflyb) A two-stage compression refrigeration system with a flash chamber is used to produce chilled water for a commercial building The refrigeration system operates between a pressure limits of 1 2 MPa and 200 kPa with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. The refrigerant leaves...
Pressure limits in a two-stage cooling system are 0.9 MPa and 250kPa. Refrigerant condenser comes out as saturated liquid and works at 700kPa pressure reduced to the pressure of the evaporation chamber. Meanwhile, some of the refrigerant evaporates and is mixed with the fluid from the low pressure compressor. The mixture is then It is compressed to condenser pressure with high pressure compressor. The liquid in the evaporation chamber is reduced to evaporator pressure and draws heat from the cooled...
A two-stage compression refrigeration system with an adiabatic liquid-vapor separation unit uses refrigerant-134a as working fluid. The system operates the evaporator at 0.4 MPa, the condenser at 1.6 MPa, and the separator at 0.8 MPa. The compressors use 25 kW of power. Given that the refrigerant is saturated liquid at the inlet of each expansion valve and saturated vapor at the inlet of each compressor, and the compressors are isentropic: (0) show the process on a T-s diagram; ) calculate...
Please also draw the T-S diagrams and PH diagrams to facilitate understanding. Thank you. 5. The refrigeration system shown below is another variation of the basic vapor compression refrigeration system which attempts to reduce the compression work. In this system, a heat exchanger is used to superheat the vapor entering the compressor while sub-cooling the liquid exiting from the condenser Consider a system of this type that uses refrigerant-134a as its refrigerant and operates the evaporator at -10°C, and the...
