Chapter 5.5, Problem 82P
The evaporator of a refrigeration cycle is basically a heat exchanger in which a refrigerant is evaporated by absorbing heat from a fluid. Refrigerant-22 enters an evaporator at 200 kPa with a quality of 22 percent and a flow rate of 2.65 L/h. R-22 leaves the evaporator at the same pressure superheated by 5°C. The refrigerant is evaporated by absorbing heat from air whose flow rate is 0.75 kg/s. Determine (a) the rate of heat absorbed from the air and (b) the temperature change of air. The properties of R-22 at the inlet and exit of the condenser are h1 = 220.2 kJ/kg, V1 = 0.0253 m3/kg, and h2 = 398.0 kJ/kg.

4. Steam enters the condenser of a steam power plant at 20000 kPa and a quality of 95 percent with a mass flow rate of 20 Mg/h. It is to be cooled by water from a nearby river in circulating the water through the tubes within the condenser. To prevent thermal pollution, the river water is not allowed to experience a temperature rise above 10oC. If the steam is to leave the condenser as saturated liquid at 20000 Pa, determine the mass flow rate of the cooling water required
In a closed feedwater heater, steam warms the feedwater and the condensate leaves the heater through a trap or throttling value . What is the purpose of the trap or throttling value?
It allows the liquid to flow to higher pressures with the same internal energy.
It separates the liquid from the vapor.
It allows the liquid to flow into a lower pressures without the loss of enthalpy.
It allows the liquid to flow to higher pressures with the same enthalpy.
It allows the liquid to flow into a lower pressures without the loss of internal energy.
Heat is rejected from the condenser of a heat pump cycle by refrigerant-134a entering at 700 kPa and 50 ◦C at a rate of 105 kg/h and leaves as a saturated liquid. Determine (a) the temperature of R-134a at the condenser exit, (b) the volume flow rate at the exit of the condenser in L/min, (c) the COP of the heat pump if the rate of heat absorbed in the evaporator is 12,000 Btu/h.
