Q3/ A refrigeration unit of 20 T.R uses R-12 as a refrigerant and works between evaporating and condensing (10 degree) temperature of -20 °C and 37 °C. The vapor leaves the evaporator saturated and the liquid leaves the condenser saturated also. Find out the change of; (a) Mass flow rate of refrigerant, (b) Power consumed, (c) Volumetric efficiency, and (d) Piston displacement in the following to cases (i) The evaporation temperature is decreased to -27 °C due to a change of product while the condensing temperature is still constant, (ii) The condensing temperature is increased to 45 °C due to a change of outside conditions while the evaporating temperature is still constant at -20 °C.

Question
Q3/ A refrigeration unit of 20 T.R uses R-12 as a refrigerant and works between evaporating and condensing
(10 degree)
temperature of -20 °C and 37 °C. The vapor leaves the evaporator saturated and the liquid leaves the condenser
saturated also. Find out the change of; (a) Mass flow rate of refrigerant, (b) Power consumed, (c) Volumetric
efficiency, and (d) Piston displacement in the following to cases (i) The evaporation temperature is decreased
to -27 °C due to a change of product while the condensing temperature is still constant, (ii) The condensing
temperature is increased to 45 °C due to a change of outside conditions while the evaporating temperature is still
constant at -20 °C.
