3. A vapour compression refrigerator uses R-12 as refrigerant and the liquid evaporates in the evaporator at - 15 °C. The temperature of this refrigerant at the delivery from the compressor is 15°C when the vapour is condensed at 10°C. Find the coefficient of performance if (i) there is no undercooling , and (ii) the liquid is cooled by 5°C before expansion by throttling. Take specific heat at constant pressure for the superheated vapour as 0.64 kJ/kg.K and for liquid as 0.94 kJ/kg.K. (Same as Example 12)
