A refrigeration plant works between the temperatures limits of -5°C and 25°C. The refrigerant is CO2 is wet at the entry to the compressor and has dryness fraction of 0.6. The refrigerator has actual COP 70% of the theoretical COP. If there is no under-cooling, determine the ice formed during a period of 24 hours from 20°C. The mass of CO2 circulated is 5kg/min. Take enthalpy of fusion of ice as 336 kJ/kg. The properties of CO2 are as follows:

A refrigeration plant works between the temperatures limits of -5°C and 25°C. The refrigerant is CO2 is wet at the entry to the compressor and has dryness fraction of 0.6. The refrigerator has actual COP 70% of the theoretical COP. If there is no under-cooling, determine the ice formed during a period of 24 hours from 20°C. The mass of CO2 circulated is 5kg/min. Take enthalpy of fusion of ice as 336 kJ/kg. The properties of CO2 are as follows:
