Refrigeration Problems

The document contains two problems regarding refrigeration cycles. The first problem involves an ideal gas cycle with air flowing at 8 kg/s entering the compressor at 250 K and 100 kPa and the turbine at 300 K and 400 kPa. It asks to determine the rate of refrigeration and net power required. The second problem involves a R-134a vapor compression refrigerator operating at 0.006 kg/s, with refrigerant entering and leaving various states in the compressor and condenser. It asks to determine the rate of heat removal, compressor work rate, efficiency, coefficient of performance, and Carnot COP.

1.

Air enters the compressor of an ideal-gas refrigeration cycle at 250 K and 100 kPa and the
turbine at 300 K and 400 kPa. The mass flow rate of air through the cycle is 8.0 kg/s.
Assuming constant specific heats for air and isentropic compression and expansion,
determine:
(i)
(ii)

the rate of refrigeration,


the net power required to run the refrigerator,
Note: cp = 1.005 kJ/kg.K, k = cp/cv = 1.4.

2. A vapour compression refrigerator using refrigerant R-134a operates with a mass flow rate
of 0.006 kg/s. The refrigerant enters the compressor as a saturated vapour with a temperature
of 0 oC and pressure 280 kPa, and leaves the compressor with a temperature of 40 oC and
pressure 800 kPa. The refrigerant leaves the condenser as a sub-cooled liquid with a
temperature and pressure of 30 oC and 790 kPa.
Determine:
(i)
the rate of heat removed from the evaporator,
(ii)
the rate at which work is done on the refrigerant in the compressor,
(iii) the adiabatic efficiency of the compressor,
(iv)
the coefficient of performance,
(v)
the coefficient of performance of a Carnot refrigerator operating between the same
pressure limits.
