A refrigerant plant works between temperature limits of – 5°C (in the evaporator) and 25°C (in the
condenser). The working fluid ammonia has a dryness fraction of 0.6 at entry to the compressor. If the
machine has a relative efficiency of 50%, calculate the amount of ice formed during a period of 24 hours.The ice is to be formed at 0°C from water at 20°C and 6 kg of ammonia is circulated per minute. Specific
heat of water is 4.187 kJ/kg and latent heat of ice is 335 kJ/kg.
An air conditioner with refrigerant-134a as the refrigerant is used to keep a large space at 20°C by rejecting the waste heat to the outside air at 37 °C. The room is gaining heat through the walls and the windows at a rate of 125 kJ/min while the heat generated by the computer, TV, and lights amounts to 0.7 kW. Unknown amount of heat is also generated by the people in the room. The condenser and evaporator pressures are 1200 and 500 kPa, respectively. The refrigerant is saturated liguid at the condenser exit and saturated vapor at the compressor inlet. If the refrigerant enters the compressor at a rate of 65 L/min and the isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 70%, determine (a) the temperature of the refrigerant at the compressor exit, (b) the rate of heat generated by the people in the room,
(c) the COP of the air conditioner, and (d) the minimum volume flow rate of the refrigerant at the compressor inlet for the same compressor inlet and exit conditions.
