In a refrigeration cycle, the refrigerant gains heat in the evaporator and in thesuction line. In a certain refrigeration system, R-134a gains 67.8 Britishthermal units per pound (Btu/lb) in the evaporator. It then gains 2.5 Btu/lb inthe suction line. Find in Btu/lb the total heat gained by the R-134a.
Refrigerant as a work fluid to keep an environment at 25 ° C. A heat pump using 134a is used. The heat pump keeps heat entering the evaporator at a temperature of 50 ° C. and 2,718 kW of heat from the geothermal water that comes out of the evaporator at 40 ° C. Cooler fluid enters the evaporator at 15% dryness at 20 ° C and saturated at the same pressure comes out as steam. Since the compressor consumes 1.2 kW of power; a-) Mass flow rate of the refrigerant, b-) The heat provided for heating purposes per unit time, c-) COP value of the heat pump, d-) Find the minimum power required for the compressor in case of providing the same amount of heat.
There is a steam power cycle that uses water as the working fluid, where the condenser pressure is 20 kPa. The pressure in the boiler is 4 MPa. The steam that comes out of the boiler is saturated steam and the quality at the outlet of the turbine is x4 = 0.65. The water enters the pump as a saturated liquid and exits at a temperature of 48 ° C (T2). Determine a) Work at the pump b) Heat transfer in theboiler c) work on the turbine d) The heat in the condenser e) The thermal efficiency of the cycle
