A two-evaporator compression refrigeration system as shown in Fig. P11–120E uses refrigerant-134a as theworking fluid. The system operates evaporator 1 at 30°F, evaporator 2 at −29.5°F, and the condenser at 160 psia. The cooling load of evaporator 1 is double that of evaporator 2. Determine the cooling load of both evaporators per unit of flow through the compressor, as well as the COP of this system. The refrigerant is saturated liquid at the exit of the condenser and saturated vapor at the exit of each evaporator, and the compressor is isentropic.Reconsider Prob. 11–120E. The refrigeration system of that problem cools one reservoir at −15°F and one at40°F while rejecting heat to a reservoir at 80°F. Which processhas the highest exergy destruction?
A single-effect falling-film evaporator is used to concentrate orange juice from 14% to 45% solids. The evaporator utilizes a mechanical refrigeration cycle using ammonia as a refrigerant for heating and for condensing the vapors. The refrige-ration cycle is operated at a high-side pressure of 200 psia (1.379 MPa) and a low-side pressure of 50 psia (344.7 kPa). The evaporator is operated at a vapor temperature of 90oF (32.2oC). Feed enters at 70oF (21.1oC). The ratio of insoluble to soluble solids in the juice is 0.09, and the soluble solids consist of glucose and sucrose in 70:30 ratio. Consider the ΔT as the log mean ΔT between the liquid refrigerant temperature and the feed temperature at one point and the hot refri-gerant gas temperature and the concentrated liquid boiling temperature at the other point. The evaporator has a heat transfer surface area of 100 ft2 (9.29 m2), and an overall heat transfer coefficient of 300 BTU (h.ft2.oF) or 1073 W/(m2.K) may be expected. Calculate:…
