A refrigerator uses refrigerant-134a as the working fluid and operates on the vapor-compression refrigeration cycle. The evaporator and condenser pressures are 100 kPa and 1400 kPa, respectively. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 88 percent. The refrigerant enters the compressor at a rate of 0.022 kg/s superheated by 26.37°C and leaves the condenser subcooled by 4.4°C.

NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. A commercial refrigerator with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -30°C by rejecting its waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18°C at a rate of 0.28 kg/s and leaves at 26°C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 MPa and 65°C and leaves at 42°C. The inlet state of the compressor is 60 kPa and -34°C and the compressor is estimated to gain a net heat of 420 W from the surroundings. The heat exchanger loses no heat to the environment. 26°C 42°C ↑ 4 Condenser Expansion valve Evaporator QL Water 18°C 1.2 MPa 65°C ↑gin Win Compressor 60 kPa -34°C Determine the theoretical maximum refrigeration load for the same power input to the compressor.

In a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, 9 kg/min of ammonia exits the evaporator as saturated vapor at-12°C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 16 bar and 140C, and saturated liquid exits at 16 bar.

An ammonia-water absorption refrigeration cycle is used to keep a space at -5 C when the ambient temperature is 20 C. Pure ammonia enters the condenser at 20 bar and 60 C at a rate of 0.02 kg/s. Ammonia leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid and is expanded to 2 bar. Ammonia leaves the evaporator as a saturated vapor. Heat is supplied to the generator by geothermal liquid water that enters at 100 C at a rate of 0.25 kg/s and leaves at 70 C.  Determine (a) the cooling capacity (in TR) and (b) COP of the system. The enthalpies of ammonia at various states of the system are: condenser inlet h2 = 1510 kJ/kg, evaporator inlet h4 = 418 kJ/kg, evaporator exit h1 = 1420 kJ/kg. Take the specific heat of geothermal water to be 4.18 kJ/kg-K
