Why is two-stage compression popular for extra-low-temperature refrigeration systems?
Refrigerators currently being manufactured in the United States are using______as their refrigerant.
Problem 1 - Refrigeration Cycle Thermodynamic Analysis A vapor compression refrigeration cycle operates at steady flow conditions with 0.25 kg/s or R-134a. The table below shows some of the operating parameters and properties for the refrigerant. The compressor is refrigerated, and the condenser is also cooled with water. The compressor receives shaft power equivalent to 7.5 hp. Neglecting changes in kinetic and potential energy changes and any heat loss between devices, please answer the following. a. Complete the table below and sketch the cycle processes on a T-s diagram. When completing the table please use the same number of decimal places as in the tables. 123456 b. Determine the cooling capacity of the refrigeration unit, in Tons (1 refrigeration Ton = 211 kJ/min). c. Compute the COP. d. Determine the volume flow rate of refrigerant entering the condenser in L/min. e. Determine the mass flow rate of cooling water passing through the condenser. f. Determine the heat transfer rate…
Determine the coefficients of performance of the refrigeration cycle.
The coefficient of performance (COP) for a vapor compression cycle chiller is 8.7. If the chiller can produce 58 tons of cooling. If the chiller operates for a total of 3568 hours annually, and the cost of electricity is $0.15 per kWh, how much does it cost to operate the chiller? Fill in the operating cost of the chiller in one year in $.
For a 15 ton capacity refrigeration system, the pressure of refrigerant in the evaporator is 150 kPa, whereas in the condenser it is 1590 kPa. If ammonia (R-717) is used under saturated conditions, calculate the theoretical power required to operate the compressor (kW).
Thermodynamics: A refrigeration unit using Refrigerant-134a is used to maintain a certain space at –15°C. The condenser rejects heat (?H) to cooling water that enters the condenser at 15°C at a rate of 0.2 kg/s and leaves at 35°C (all as saturated liquid water). The superheated refrigerant enters the condenser at 0.8 MPa and 40°C and leaves as a saturated liquid at the same temperature. If the compressor consumes 4.5 kW of power, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, (b) the refrigeration load (?̇L), (c) the COP.
Required information Refrigerant-134a enters the condenser of a steady-flow Carnot refrigerator as a saturated vapor at 65.0 psia, and it leaves with a quality of 0.05. The heat absorption from the refrigerated space takes place at a pressure of 30 psia. Determine the net work input. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.) The net work input is Btu/lbm.
A refrigeration system using refrigerant 12 is to have a refrigerating capacity of 80 kW. The cycle is a standard vapor-compression cycle in which the evaporating temperature is -15°C and the condensing temperature 30°C. Determine the volume flow of refrigerant measured in liters per second at the inlet to the compressor.
A vapor compression refrigeration system operates on the cycle shown below (from Smith, Van Ness, and Abbott text). The refrigerant is tetrafluoroethane (P-H diagram from Smith, Van Ness, and Abbott text on next page). Determine the circulation rate of the refrigerant (in kg/s), the heat transfer rate in the condenser (in kW), the actual power requirement from compressor (in kW), the overall coefficient of performance of the cycle, and the coefficient of performance of a Carnot refrigeration cycle operating between the same temperature levels. Use the following operating data: Evaporation T = -10°C; Condensation T = 26°C; Compressor Efficiency Factor = 0.8; Refrigeration rate = 500 kJ/s.
Subject : Thermofluid A well-sealed house left alone during the midday heat was found to be at 35oC. He turns on the air conditioner, which cools the entire house to 24oC in 30 min. If the COP of the air-conditioning system is 2.6, determine the power drawn by the air conditioner. An estimated of 750 kg of air is within the house for which cv = 0.72 kJ/kg·oC and cp = 1.0 kJ/kg·oC.
Q3/ A steam power plant operates on the cycle shown in the Figure. For the following set of operating conditions: 1. P2= P3.= 10000kPa 2. T3 = 600 C 3. P4 = P1 = 10kPa 4. Turbine efficiency = 0.80 5. Pump efficiency = 0.75 6. Power rating = 80000kW Determine the steam rate and the thermal efficiency of the plant. Temperature الدسم الهندسة الكيماوية اللجنة الامتحانية
